Oprah would not have Sarah Palin on her show because she "is not backing any candidate". Is she a racist maybe? Now this: http://www.drudgereport.com/flashoo.htm OPRAH OFFERS PRODUCTION HELP WITH OBAMA'S NETWORK SPECIAL Tue Oct 21 2008 09:28:56 ET **Exclusive** Oprah Winfrey is offering to "produce" the half-hour Barack Obama advertisement set to air on Oct. 29, a top source tells the DRUDGE REPORT. The Daytime TV dynamo has even offered up her studio space in Chicago. "She's been begging Obama to let her help," a source explaines. O & O It is not clear if the Obama campaign would pay Winfrey for any production services. Requests for comment from Oprah went un-returned. The Obama campaign strongly denies Oprah will be involved in the ad: Bill Richardson's former senior adviser, Mark Putnam is producing. Previously, Putnam produced commercials for Democratic campaigns in 44 states. The TV finale is seen as a high risk move, designed to remove any remaining voter doubts on the first term senator. CBS, NBC and FOX will air the info-commercial, with the start time of a potential World Series Game 6 being pushed back by eight minutes. Mystery surrounds the production: Will it simply be Obama sitting at a desk reading TelePrompTer? Or will it incorporate multi-media elements, on the road footage, and sweeping historic images.

She's probably doing her a favor. She'll just make a vagina out of her herself, like with every single TV interviewer she's been "allowed" to talk to. She couldn't handle the softball questions of Couric. McCain just proved what I always believed, Affirmative action doesn't work If you have any affection for McCain, you'd want this lady to keep on looking gorgeous / reciting her talking points @ rallies. TV interviews mean questions, questions mean thinking, thinking requires brains. Don't you know, they don't have brains in Alaska.
Uhh... yeah... first time caller, long time listener -- just wanted to know where Oprah said this, with citation, before I put this in the big Republican "bullshit" pile. She did say that she didn't want her show to be a platform for any of the candidates.
i watched a clip of her interview with CNN this afternoon I felt bad and conflicted. I don't want to be able to feel compassion and pity for political adversaries...but I felt embarrassed for her. Shame on McCain on throwing this fine housewife to the sharks. She's at most qualified to be a 3rd grade teacher.
Oprah owns Harpo studios... production house... Just business as usual. Not sure what the big issue is with Obama delegating and contracting the best in the business.
