Barack Obama may have The Bomb.
And it’s not aboard the Enola Gay. It’s now aboard the Obama Express campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Suddenly Hillary’s not looking invincible.
The secret weapon is, of course, Oprah, the nationally adored talk-show host. She attracted a crowd estimated at almost 30,000 Sunday in Columbia, S.C., after campaigning with him Saturday in Iowa.
“There are those who say it’s not his time, that he should wait his turn,” she told the crowd in Columbia. “Think about where you’d be in your life if you’d waited when people told you to.”
She added, too, a line that could build some fire under his campaign and attract disgruntled Independents, and perhaps even some Republican women: “I’m sick of politics as usual.”
Much of the nation is. But it’s quite a feat to get from that declaration to mobilizing the turned-off segment and delivering them to a specific candidate. But I’m not one to underestimate Oprah. Clinton and Obama are neck-and-neck in Iowa, and she’s up in the 5-10 percentage point range in New Hampshire and South Carolina. That’s within the Oprah impact zone.
The nomination’s still Hillary’s to lose. She can beat Obama. But she can’t beat Oprah.
I can still hear his voice saying that.
“I didn’t come here to talk ‘bout no books,” and, “Don’t say no black man can’t do somethin’,” said The Oprah.
I am trying to be nice :)
Hello Arkancide!
Thanks...appreciated...
It would be so hilarious if Oprah cost Hillary the ‘Rat nomination. Man, can you imagine the cursing (and the racial slurs) that would be flying around in the privacy of Hillary’s inner circle?
That’s great!
Sounds like the denizens of the Democrat plantation are getting a might restless. It’s about stinkin’ time.
Al/Oprah ticket. It would not suprise me a bit or
Obama/Oprah
Oh, my...look at Mrs. Clinton!
