Sigh. Isn't it a bit early? Or am I just old fashioned?

Good. Let's push that cunt Billary the fuck out.

It'd only be all over if Oprah herself was running for pres.

Has she not looked closely enough at Richardson?

So is this more like her endorsing The Promise or like her endorsing The Road? And what about hip hop?

Are Obama and Clinton really that different politically? I say no.

Great. Now none of the other candidates will be able to get shelf space at Barnes and Noble.

Um, is this good or bad for Obama?

It looks like Obama is our next president unless he makes a major fuckup. One good thing about having campaigns last multiple years is that candidates without prior name recognition (McCain, Clinton, Edwards) have more time for people to become familiar with them. Obama is rocketing up the polls.

I'm hoping Hillary is VP, but I'm sure they'll pick a Whiteman to balance the ticket.

I haven't decided who I'll vote for in the primary. I keep bouncing around from Edwards to Hillary to Obama. If any of those three get the nom I'll be perfectly happy.

I have been leaning more towards Obama, even before the Big O spoke up. Then again, I had assumed she'd support him.

Obama is a cool candidate, but it seems that his appeal is primarily to the youth and some bigger city liberal elites. But I'm not sure of his ability to win the south and midwestern swing states or his ability to cleave off a significant portion of the white male vote.

Furthermore, the race baiting by the republicans will go into overdrive in the general election campaign and tap into a lot of latent racist sentiment that will doom Obama's chances come 2008.

Gore/Obama '08.

Obama's momentum is nothing short of amazing. I see 2 possibilities: either (1) Obama will be the 44th President; or (2) Hillary will have to stoop to such smashmouth politics to take him down in the primaries, leading to self-defensive mudslinging from Obama, that she will undermine her own shot in November, and we will get Romney or Thompson instead. If Hillary insists on throwing herself in front of this train, it won't bode well for any of the Democrats.

Incidentally, this link was the first time I had visited the NYT's blogs. The public comments were lame even beyond what I expected, and degenerated into flames within the first dozen comments. Thank god for Slog, and for Slog readers.

Indeed, Gore/Obama '08!

And Dan, don't try to "help" by infecting anyone's office with germs or falsely registering to vote or smuggling any kind of gun or fake gun anywhere, or any of that other ACTUP-vintage stuff that only people who read the Stranger are edgy enough to get.

Behave yourself. Be mainstream. Like TAL. Rule of thumb: Ask Ira Glass. If he says it is cool, then it's cool. Do the opposite of whatever those crazy editors who work for you say is cool.

@11
No point of trying to get the South anymore, the only few states that are really worth campaigning there are LA, FL, and WV. States like Kentucky are going to be hard-pressed to vote Democratic for president. Most of the focus, as it should be, has been switched to the new swing states: the Sun Belt, Rocky Mountain West, and Rust Belt. States like Colorado and New Mexico are the must-wins, not those South ones. I sincerely doubt a Republican can manage to get elected in 2008.

PS: can we talk about this? Florida just became much more manageable.

Endorsement aside, what the fuck was this?

“Is there a side of you, the woman side, that would lead toward a Hillary?” Mr. King inquired.

I mean, I know what he's trying to say, but really. The woman side?

Interesting. I'm still torn between Obama and Clinton, but I'm leaning Obama. Clinton is totally experienced and would do a great job, but I'm sick of this Hatfields and McCoys thing that's gone on for far too long for the presidency. I sometimes feel like if we elect Clinton, we're electing the same old political paradigm we've dealing with for 20 years.

Richardson/Obama '08!

A man can dream, can't he?

I'm down for an Gore/Obama ticket.

I'm down for a Gore/Obama ticket.

Obvs, I meant The Secret. Sorry, I'm not always as up on my christian entitlement lit as I could be.

Gore isn't running, as far as anyone knows. Besides, Obama's message pushes "something new"--not a Bush, not a Clinton. Throwing Gore in there would be a mistake.

Why do people care at all who the VP is?

Remember, folks, that Obama and Oprah are both from Chicago. They probably know each other. This endorsement is as surprising as someone predicting cold temperatures in December.

I resent the headline. This is the United States! Oprah doesn't decide who is President - that's our job!

Cold temperatures in December is a bad comparison, Matt.

Is it just me or are the Democrats not with the rest of nation? I mean the country has TURNED A HARD LEFT politically. Seriously, look at the polls. And the top tier candidates really more centerist than the country has become. What we need is not moderate democrats (aka, Republican Lite) but we need an FDR or a JFK.

Yeah, could you imagine, a liberal candidate who is not afraid to be a liberal?

An FDR would be such a great thing. A New Deal, indeed. But, I think that's still in the future. People aren't suffering enough overall to actually want that kind of change, in my opinion.

And Eric G, you are funny. I keep trying to convince Kurt of "The Secret" but he seems to think it won't work... Personally, I expect my millions to start pouring in any day now.

Chris @ 24:

Because he or she is only one pretzel from the presidency, that's why.

@28
"could you imagine, a liberal candidate who is not afraid to be a liberal?"

Ever hear of Dennis Kucinich?

I'm voting for an aborted fetus for President. Fuck this noise.
Fuck Oprah.
Fuck Obama.

I thought she endorsed Ezzel's

i wonder if oprah made the cover of her magazine again?

Hello everyone, wanna be part of some kind of community, possible here? anyone here?
