Oprah Endorses Obama2008 US Presidential candidate Barack Obama may now have a new secret weapon and it's a powerful one to say the least. Talk show host extraordinaire, Oprah Winfrey, has announced her endorsement of the Democratic candidate. But it's more than just your average endorsement. Oprah plans to go on the campaign trail with Obama.
The popular talk show host and media mogul plans to visit Iowa on Saturday, Dec. 8, with stops in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. The following day, she'll travel to Columbia, S.C. Later that day, Obama's campaign said, she'll travel to Manchester, N.H.
This isn't the first time Oprah has lent her star power to the Illinois senator.
In September, she rolled out the red carpet for Obama at a gala fundraiser in California that brought in about $3 million for his campaign.
How this helps Barack Obama's campaign is anybody's guess but few are doubting it can hurt.
Barbara Streisand's endorsement of Hillary Clinton on the other hand. Oyvay!
