Oprah and Obama

Recently, the Queen of Daytime Television, also known as Oprah Winfrey, showed her support for presidential hopeful Barack Obama. Can the woman who turns books into bestsellers put a man in the Oval Office?

Many people have given Oprah grief for so strongly supporting a candidate for president. These critics believe that Oprah’s support will sway voters and prevent them from making their own decisions. In addition, some people think that so strongly supporting one candidate will hamper Oprah’s ability to interview other candidates.

What are your thoughts?

Do you think Oprah will drive up the number of Obama supporters, or do you think the American public is capable of making their own informed decisions, without the help of a celebrity?
