Senator Barack Obama revealed yesterday friend Oprah Winfrey would campaign alongside him in Iowa, the crucial first state that begins the process of choosing presidential candidates on January 3.
She will also follow him to the other key early battlegrounds of New Hampshire and South Carolina.
As Winfrey travels with Senator Obama, the two are hoping the one-woman media conglomerate's star power is so strong she can do what other big-name endorsers rarely have: actually win votes.
The billionaire television show host is rated the second-most-influential woman in the US behind Senator Hillary Clinton, and Senator Obama is hoping to draw away some of his rival's key support base.
I think Oprah Winfrey is a huge asset to Obama's campaign. She is a very famous and influential person that can pull in alot of money for Obama's campaign. Many watch her show and I think she can definitely win him a few millions of votes. She's trying to gain both the African American and women vote.
