Hillary Clinton Asks Oprah Winfrey to be Running Mate in 2008? By Cris Bergman Jul 19, 2006
A published report will claim that Oprah may have a new suitor from the political spectrum.
A report set for Star Magazine's weekly offering will claim that Hillary Clinton has put out a feeler to see if Oprah would consider the veep spot on the 2008 ticket.
That should send shock waves through DC and especially the Republican Party.
Though Hillary has yet to declare her official candidacy it is near certain that she will run and she is far and away the Democratic frontrunner for the gig.
The weekly magazine has this item:
New York Senator Hillary Clinton mad a bid to snag Oprah Winfrey as her running mate in the 2008 presidential elections.
"Hillary thought that with Oprah's pulling power they'd be a shoe-in," the friend says. "So she sent Oprah an e-mail to ask her if she'd be interested. But when Oprah got it, she wasn't sure if Hillary was being serious or if it was a joke."
The whole thing actually reads like a joke, but stranger things have happened in Washington DC.
And it may take Oprah's star power to make Hillary Clinton electable as she is under attack from the left wing of her party and of course will face a tough time from the GOP.
Cue the rep: No denials yet.

Raquel Welch-Oprah!
Does she use it today though? If not now, it won't matter much, since...well, she is Oprah. Nobody will care with stars in their eyes.
But, the lack of political experience would matter.
She wouldn't, I don't believe this story for a second.
"Oprah said she's NOT gay."
Hillary hasn't.
'Dogg the Bounty Hunter for Head of Homeland Security' lol!
No kidding. Oprah may be lots of things, but she ain't stoopid. Hillary is a rattle snake and uses people up and spits them out. Her reputation has finally caught up with her in her own party and that's why she's so desperate to float this trial balloon.
What the hell ever happened to editors? Shoe in? Try Shoo in.
On another issue, Hillary and Opry would make the perfect Chinese dish. Sweet and sour.
Ya'll so busy bustin' a gut giggleing....think about this just a second here....IMHO its called LIFE INSURANCE for the Hildabeest...it means she'll live out her elected term...
I don't believe this and so what. These are two women that have truly set all women back 200 hundred or more years.
No thanks. It would be sick to think that these women offer anything to the public.
Draft Judge Judy! for the soon to be vacant Fed job in Los Angeles! (The Honorable Manuel Real = impeachment)
Don't know if she is using crack, but she must be selling - she has about 40lbs of crack in the trunk!
Exactly, someone is having a wet dream of epic proportions.
Actually that's not all that bad of an idea. He's a good guy!
ROFLMAO.
Oooooo you're good,...nasty, but good.
Jane Fonda appointed Director of Homeland Security.
OR
Jane Fonda appointed Secretary of Defense.
endless....
On the other hand, would you want to be President when Hillary is Vice-President? Would an insurance company sell you life insurance?
