OBAMA AND OPRAH TEAMING UPAlthough presidential hopeful Barack Obama's numbers have improved and even skyrocketed to the lead in Iowa polls, he is still trailing rival candidate Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire and South Carolina. Talk show host Oprah Winfrey has something to say about that. Oprah and Obama first met on a plane ride down to New Orleans to comfort Katrina victims in 2005. Now, Oprah is offering the candidate support like she has never done before. She is preparing to travel through southern states to campaign for Obama. Insiders believe that she can shift the view of many voters, especial African-American women. The truth is, southern African-Americans are surprisingly leaning toward Clinton. They believe Obama will never get elected because of his race. Oprah will spend her campaign time attempting to convince voters that Obama is the relief necessary after Bush's rocky eight years of service.
