I think Oprah has a crush on Obama, because the two have been joined at the hip lately. The pair hit up South Carolina on Sunday asking for support for the Senator to capture the Democratic nomination and the presidency.
Obama's campaign said more than 29,000 attended the event at the University of South Carolina's football stadium. It had the feel of a rock concert, with bands playing for early arrivals and campaign supporters yelling "fire it up" to the crowd.
All they needed was Michael Buble, and it would have been another episode of "Oprah!" A recent AP-Pew Research poll has New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton leading in South Carolina with 45 percent of likely Democratic primary voters, followed by Obama's 31 percent.
The two candidates break even on the black vote here, and that's where Winfrey's appeal could become a factor — along with her pull among women. Because if there's anything Oprah knows, it's how to appeal to the ladies!
