Don't count out power of the Oprah Effect. There's no doubt she'll get thousands to vote for Obama

"Nearly every story out there about the Oprah-bama campaign points out that celebrity endorsements probably don't translate to a massive swing in votes -- but Oprah isn't your average celebrity.

Right. So why are we seeing 8 million stories about celebrity endorsements, all of them pointing out that there's a big difference between an endorsement from an action movie star and a campaign tour starring perhaps the most admired and influential woman in the country?

Mentioning Oprah in the same breath as any other celebrity endorser is like saying there's no difference between having a former Division II quarterback on your flag football team and Tom Brady showing up and saying, "Mind if I take a few snaps?" It's a whole other league."

Oprah is going to get Obama a few votes there isnt much doubt of that,but I think she is going to lose some of her popularity in doing it.

Tammy...

...Bruce says this is much ado about nothing. Tammy Bruce says that if Oprah was running this would mean something. Tammy Bruce says the voters are far more intelligent than to base their support for one person based on their like of another. Tammy Bruce says that this would be of note if Barrack was selling a book.

The recent convention that she first attended with Obama turned out to be the largest in history bringing 30,000 people out. Oprah has also never voiced her support for a canadiate either. We will see how this turns out. Should be very interesting to see how the voters are swayed by her popularity
