The Oprah thing made me think of the Obama campaign as a feel good self help seminar instead of a tough campaign, right or wrong and probably because of the "female" association of it. At the same time it made me think of Clinton as a stronger candidate and better leader than O. Sexist?

2. You know, I hadn't thought about it, but...........
I guess Sen. Obama IS doing an "Oprah" schtick.....

And I'm having the same reaction to Sen. Obama's campaign that I had with Oprah's show: I'm glad you feel good about yourself by helping others feel good about themselves. But this "feel good" stuff doesn't do anything for me.
