Fellow Chicagonas, Oprah Winfrey and Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), are getting ready to throw one hell of a fundraiser. The media-mogul is lending a helping hand to her choice for the democratic nomonee by throwing a fundraiser at her Montecito, Calif. estate Saturday. While this is Winfrey's first political endorsement, the publicity generated from the event and potential appearances on her show is sure to help Obama's presidential run.
Winfrey maintains that she usually tries to stay out of the political relm but is lending a hand to Obama and will deny other canidates air time on her show but Obama's opponent Hillary Clinton is already scheduled to make an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres show. It seems national television air time is a part of the 2008 campaign trail.
