Oprah Winfrey is offering to "produce" the half-hour Barack Obama advertisement set to air on Oct. 29, a top source tells the DRUDGE REPORT. The Daytime TV dynamo has even offered up her studio space in Chicago.
"She's been begging Obama to let her help," a source explained.
O & O
It is not clear if the Obama campaign would pay Winfrey for any production services.
Requests for comment from Oprah went un-returned.
The Obama campaign finale is seen as a high risk move, designed to remove any remaining voter doubts on the first term senator.
CBS, NBC and FOX will air the info-commercial, with the start time of a potential World Series Game 6 being pushed back by eight minutes.
Mystery surrounds the production: Will it simply be Obama sitting at a desk reading TelePrompTer? Or will it incorporate multi-media elements, on the road footage, and sweeping historic images.
Bleh
And of course, Oprah and The Chosen One will report the full fair marked value of the production help as a contribution.
/sarcasm
Maybe Oprah wants a place in the coming administration, too.
Just like General Powell.

I have NOT watched Oprah since she endorsed Obama. If Rush Limbaugh did the same thing for McCain, boy oh boy, the left would have their heads spinning off their body!!
Have I mentioned I dispise the LEFT???
Isn't this considered a campaign donation?...............
Even though I’m 53 years old, I can produce a true copy of my birth certificate, from a state I haven’t been in for nearly 40 years...........
When has Oprah offered a white liberal candidate that supports infanticide production support to make television or radio ads? Or when has Oprah ever offered a white candidate production support for his/her political campaign?
Oprah’s trying to put lipstick on a pig...
McCain? Pre-empt this with a 30-minute special of your own!!!
Gotta be some high-dollar people who could sponsor this...
But ... But ...Its NOT about race!
Desperation and overkill.
Its all about RACE.
Well isn’t that special! And she is not going to let Sarah on her show until after the election since she is not political...haha! I hope Oprah’s ratings take a dive..and the best way for that to happen is for Obama to lose.
Maybe Noprah’s production will only be worth the $2300 contribution limit.
FNC just had that latest poll for FLA has M49 o48!
but..but.. I thought Oprah was non-partisan and not going to use her media platform to get involved in political issues until after the election? “Say it ain’t so, Oprah” cries a heartbroken nation of pseudo-therapeutic doublespeak fans.
More like Oprah will pay Obama for the privilege of helping the messiah.
