At the 'Span today doing Oprah & Obama at a rally in Des Moines. Ouick observations:
The crowd is very white (well it is Iowa).
Obama is not that good speaking without a scipt, he stumbles, bumbles, and sometimes seems to be channeling John Kerry.
Oprah is Oprah, always making the event about her. Best I could tell, she is saying that Obama will solve all our problems because he is... Obama. So there. That's that. No questions please.
Oprah used the phrase "Obama's The One". In 1968 Tricky Dicky had the slogan "Nixon's The One". Political prankster Dick Tuck hired several very pregnant young women to march outside a Nixon event one day holding signs saying: "Nixon's The One".
There was a quick shot of the crowd with a guy that looked like Larry The Senate Guy's twin brother. Maybe he's hoping to see the "Obama Political Package" after the speech.

Very sad indeed to see Obama land stoop to using a cowardly member of the media who refused to disagree with the drumbeat for killing 1 million civilians and counting in Iraq.
Watch Oprah 'redbait' an African American audience member questioning the composition of her pro-Iraq war panel. This is not courage. This is going along to get big bucks.
I'm now going to have to work for Edwards. I think Kucinich would be great, but the media's ignored him (say has he been on Oprah yet? Saw him on Colbert.)
