Do you think Oprah has enough money and influence to buy Obama into power over Hillary?

Look what she can do with her BOOK CLUB...take some obscure novel and get it on the Best Sellers list! Can she do that for Obama?

1. Possible, but she won't if she values her life.
2. Hmmm. yeah, probably so.
3. I hope she buys anybody into office but Hillary.
4. i dont think he will need her help.. he is already getting his own recognition!!! im loving the 2008 race.. its gonna be exciting
5. She can buy my vote for $500,000.
6. Hell no! Nobody can stop the Clinton Machine!! They are the 2000's Kennedy's!! Welcome Back, Bill and Hillary!! Missed You so much!! Chelsea in 2028!!
7. No Way
8. People like that don't use their own money. Like that car give away- it wasn't her money. and your giving her too much credit if you think she can get that character in the white house. He hasn't a chance unless its as vice president
9. I'm not sure that she can.....but I know she's trying.
10. It's true Oprah does influence alot of people , but Senator O'Bama is a very intelligent articulate young man and his audacity for hope and new ideas will probably get to voters moreso than Oprah's money. I think she's limited in what she can contribute personally. Frankly I liked Senator O'Bama from when he first spoke at the Democratic convention in 2004. As to whether or not he'll defeat Hilary for the nomination it's a year away, alot can happen in a year , even in a few weeks. Remember Howard Dean and that yell..... Mrs. Clinton and Senator O'Bama are almost different generations despite being in the Democratic party and perhaps will appeal to totally different kinds of voters. The race has only begun, time will tell. It's in campaigns like this as a Canadian I wish I could vote in your elections. :-)
11. she is one of the richest women alive. it takes money to win ,ask bush.
12. You bring up an interesting point. Oprah coincidentally had Obama on her show recently. When asked he did not divulge whether or not he would be running, however he had claps and claps and more claps and standing ovations. Did you catch (if you watched) when Oprah asked him why he did not accept her offer to utilize her private jet to get to another Country that he was visiting. Oprah's influence on people is crazy. Take for instance the purchasing of the reed razor phones, book club, donating to Africa. This is a Woman that can raise Millions in just a few minutes. My answer is yes. I do think that she can influence greatly and I think she already has! '-)
13. maybe enough money and power to get a Republican elected if Obama gets on a ego trip and decides to run anyway as an independent.
14. Hillary is not a serious contender, she brings way too much baggage into the race, also she is a very polarizing cantidate, people seem to love her or hate, no middle ground. Obama's too liberal for the mainstream as his record shows. The Democratic party needs to go with a moderate cantidate, someone more palatable to the conservative wing.
15. Look what the Evangelists did for Bush. If I thought Oprah was capable of that, I'd email her - to do it, of course.
16. No, Obama will be the next Vice President.
17. Oprah might be the best reason for Republicans to consider the "Fairness Doctrine." Can't you see it now? Oprah forced to give Republicans equal time?
18. I don't think so after Hillary's slam on Obama. http://www.insightmag.com/Media/MediaManager/Obama_2.htm
19. She has the money and the influence. Last month I asked this same question and so many reports from the Oprah fans the question was deleted in less than an hour. Oprah fans don't want to think about the process they want to be the process. If She supports Obama he will even beat Jeb Bush. The only way Obama will lose is if Jamie Fox or Stedman runs. Go big Red Go
20. Obama is similar to the John McCain of 2000. The money of the Democratic machine will rally behind Hillary via lobbyist. He is merely a rival that is needed to portray Hillary as capable of overcoming an obstacle.This will portray her as a more viable candidate in 2008. Just politics as usual and deceit that occurs on the far right and far left.
21. if any one with a lot of infulence in the media ensdorces a canidate, their chances go up. look after Clinton did the MTV Rock the Vote- thats whe his percentages went up.
22. The person with the most money wins. That is the way it works. Obama has some BIG money behind him if he makes it official. Check my blog for my thoughts on the 2 Democratic frontrunners. http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-n70jZrc7dK6pfsIIqc5fnTZwGwXRteA-?cq=1
