If she can do for a Presidential candidate what she was able to do for book sales, Hillary is going to have some work to do.

So, is this good for us? I think it will tighten the demrat race alot. But do we want Obama or Hillary to run against? I can't decide. Both of them to me look like they should be completely unelectable, but I cannot overestimate the intelligence and wisdom of the American sheeple...

I wonder if she is going to give Hillary (with Bill, of course) equal time.

She says she's not. That was kind of the point of the article. :-)

I was just joking about Bill so I could remember his old saxophone trick. How everyone loved his talent! She has no hat tricks.

Hillary's lead over Obama is so great that there is no way that Oprah's sheeple support is going to put him over the top. Obama's "youth" vote is very vocal but their turn-out has been weak historically and their numbers may be lower than the press declares. Likewise his seemingly limitless numbers of small-dollar donors may be overplayed. However, he would be a real challenge in 2016 if he continues on the same learning curve.

I was very concerned that she would make him VEEP, thereby insuring black turnout in November. However, I think that their animosity has gone too far and it would be next to impossible to put him on a ticket. Shortly after his trip to Iraq with her, Evan Bayh said that he wouldn't be a candidate for President. I think on that trip she might have already offered him the #2 spot. He's a moderate white male, media savvy, from a red state. A real balance to her. She needs everything Gore got plus one state and Indiana would fit the bill perfectly.

Both of them to me look like they should be completely unelectable, but I cannot overestimate the intelligence and wisdom of the American sheeple...

I wouldn't get too comfortable. We've got the worst slate of candidates since '96 at least.
