is there anyone who would be better placed to help Obama than Oprah?

just as bill clinton is widely accepted in the African-American community Opra is welcome in white households. superbad, i recall not too long ago you refused to believe that Obama could succeed in his campaign, primarily because of his ethnicity. other black Americans felt the same way, not unlike those who agree with the principaled positions of Ron Paul but insist he is unelectable. but Oprah's help goes beyond her appeal to women. if you see reports of the Columbia event, the majority of attendees were African Americans. if those voters can recognize that hillary is not bill, that she cannot be expected to support those issues which are important to the black community, then a huge segment of the demo vote will migrate to Obama. also recognize that very few of those who support Edwards will vote for hillary. for these reasons, and that he is the only person running who possesses charisma, Obama would seem to be the one candidate who should receive the demo nomination. and that is the kiss of death, because the demo party has a tradition of not nominating the candidate with the best chance to win the national election
ymmv
