Is it just me ?

I saw a little bit of the Oprah /Obama gathering in Iowa . To me it looked like a mega church setting .

What really freaked me out and I don't know exactly why is all the people in the audience holding up similar camera phones , it looked to me like they were beaming a message to some god all standing there in unison .

It looked surreal and insane , kind of scary .

6. There is no evidence that Oprah's Obama tour has done much...

To help him with voters at large.

I don't think it's hurt him either.

But as Obama said, the crowds were more about Oprah than himself. It was a chance to see a couple of exciting celebrities up close and for free.
