Hillary can’t beat Oprah

Barack Obama may have The Bomb.

And it’s not aboard the Enola Gay. It’s now aboard the Obama Express campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Suddenly Hillary’s not looking invincible.

The secret weapon is, of course, Oprah, the nationally adored talk-show host. She attracted a crowd estimated at almost 30,000 Sunday in Columbia, S.C., after campaigning with him Saturday in Iowa.

“There are those who say it’s not his time, that he should wait his turn,” she told the crowd in Columbia. “Think about where you’d be in your life if you’d waited when people told you to.”

She added, too, a line that could build some fire under his campaign and attract disgruntled Independents, and perhaps even some Republican women: “I’m sick of politics as usual.”

Much of the nation is. But it’s quite a feat to get from that declaration to mobilizing the turned-off segment and delivering them to a specific candidate. But I’m not one to underestimate Oprah. Clinton and Obama are neck-and-neck in Iowa, and she’s up in the 5-10 percentage point range in New Hampshire and South Carolina. That’s within the Oprah impact zone.

The nomination’s still Hillary’s to lose. She can beat Obama. But she can’t beat Oprah.

So, how, exactly, I Oprah responsible for President Bush's 2000 victory?

You know, if Hillary! loses the nomination, the only way she can ever be President is if she wins in 2012. 2016 is too long for her to wait...

Therefore, in order for her to ever win the White House, she will need Obama (or any other Democrat) to lose in the 2008 general election. Wouldn't it be fun to see her unleash her Flying Monkees on the Democrat nominee next October?

Pretty please Hillary! I wanna see flying monkeys too!

BUBBA: Hey, what about me?

“Arkancide”

Is there a park in Chicago similar to Washingtons Ft Marcy Park made famous by the Vince Foster murder? If so, Oprah should be very careful. Oh, and Oprah it would be a good idea to avoid planes, cars, and train tracks.

This all could get to the point where Big Al comes in to save the day.

[shekkian]

I hope so. I think Obama will be easier to beat in the general election, unless we get stuck with Ron Paul.

[seowulf]

It would be worth it to see Hillary have to go after the big O.

I think Huma will help Hillary get the big O.

[HIDEK6]

The real question is who will the democrats nominate, Edwards, Biden or Kucinich. They are the only viableWhite Male candidates.

Fixed it.

Mrs. Clinton must sabotage the Dem nominee, otherwise Clinton Inc. remains powerless forever. Junior senator for life is not going to cut it.

[rejoicing]

Phone turned off, popcorn, soda, feet up in my recliner, grinnin..............This is gonna be fun!!!!

[billhilly]

The last time there was this much interest in the Big O was back in the 70s when the discussion always included talk about the G spot.

[ASA Vet]

I think Huma will help Hillary get the big O.

That would depend on the christmas tree decoration chosen for the task.

[billhilly]

“I thought she was supposed to be a woman of ACTION!?”

If she had been Bill might not have had to look for action elsewhere.

[subterfuge]

Funny. Oh that it were true that he could beat Hillry.

Dems are so racist they won’t vote for Hussein Obama in the general election.

That Omentum headline is so funny! I had to laugh when I saw it! I am a retired nurse, and the omentum is a sheet of fat in the abdomen. Here, from MedicineNet.com is a definition:

Omentum: A sheet of fat that is covered by peritoneum. The greater omentum is attached to the bottom edge of the stomach, and hangs down in front of the intestines. Its other edge is attached to the transverse colon. The lesser omentum is attached to the top edge of the stomach, and extends to the undersurface of the liver.

The word is derived from the latin meaning "Apron". Perhaps there is something symbolic about Osama Obama and Oprah's apron strings.

[napscoordinator]

Did not know Oprah was running for President. Sad that people would vote for that Obama guy just because of Oprah. That is disgusting!!!

[Mercat]

I’ll have to ask my manicurist. She’s a huge Oprah fan but also a Republican.

Washington Park. There were a couple of dead teen girls dumped there back in the early 70’s.
