Oprah campaigning Sunday with Michelle and Caroline Kennedy in CA.

[jenmito]

Looks like Obama has high-powered people campaigning for him to equal Hillary's high-powered person-her husband.

[LSparkle]

1. Wow -- I got an e-mail earlier about Teddy being out here

but Caroline and Oprah and Michelle too?

:woohoo:

[jenmito]

5. Yup-in LA Sunday at a rally.

Maybe Teddy will be somewhere else rallying for him???

[Nailzberg]

31. Pats in the Super Bowl. Superbowl in AZ.

Maybe he'll work both in?

[ursi]

30. Wish I was in California!!

[polichick]

2. Now THAT is a POWER TRIO...

He's serious about trying to "steal" California!

[jenmito]

7. Yes it is! They're going after the female vote while Ted Kennedy goes after the Hispanic vote!

All in CA while Barack is in another state...just like Hill and Bill-but better!

[polichick]

10. Great planning...

These next few days are going to be so exciting!

[jenmito]

12. I agree. He has SO much momentum and now powerful people working with him!

I'm REALLY happy about how he's movin' up in ALL the polls!

[polichick]

17. It's so contagious...

My whole family is feeling optimistic, even though they were Edwards supporters!

[jenmito]

19. It sure IS!

I'm glad they've come aboard the O train! :hi:

3. Isn't Kerry going to be there too?

[jenmito]

8. I haven't heard that.

[YvonneCa]

24. Kerry is in Ca. on Saturday...

...but I don't know about Sunday. His email:

4. If Rezco makes bail he will be there too.

[caligirl]

6. I think he will be fund raising for the mayor /Hillary fund raiser/ of LA, as he did in the past.

[jenmito]

9. Jealous?

[suston96]

16. Jealous of Rezco financing Obama? Hardly. We have our own felons.

Our felons are better felons than yours.

[jenmito]

18. Uh, jealous of Oprah, Caroline, and Michelle campaigning for Obama.

But you knew that (I hope).

[suston96]

22. Jealous? Not in the least. I already got into trouble over Oprah ...You can have her...

Caroline? i know who she is but some people here didn't even know who she is. I have her book: The Right of Privacy in my book collection.

Otherwise, endorsements and supporters can easily be matched. One Bill Clinton on the stump equals all three of those put together. And don't kid yourself, the only people who hate his politicking are Obama supporters who cringe at the crowds he is drawing by himself.

[jenmito]

23. Really? Obama supporters are the only ones who hate Bill's "politicking"?

Tell it to all the people who were neutral who told him to stop with the negative smears/implications.

[suston96]

25. Yeah I heard all about them and don't believe it at all, and Bill Clinton is still.....

......working the campaign trails and drawing big, enthusiastic crowds.

[jenmito]

28. You think Clyburn lied, too? And Bill Clinton held a rally in the same arena Obama did, the same

day, and he didn't fill the place while Obama had overflow crowds.

[suston96]

36. I didn't say anybody lied. I said I didn't believe what was posted.

[jenmito]

42. Then you need to watch the news. These impartial Dems. have rebuked Bill Clinton.

[ellisonz]

38. It's Rezko, not Rezco.

[knowledgeispwr]

11. LOL

I'm just gonna start laughing at this stuff from now on.

[jenmito]

13. I see you have an Edwards avatar...

who do you support now?

[knowledgeispwr]

26. Sen. Obama. eom.

[jenmito]

27. Great to have you on our "team"!

:hi:

[knowledgeispwr]

29. Thanks...

but frankly, some of the supporters of Obama (and Edwards...and Clinton) on DU are embarrassing.

I wish people could be more civil and not so quick to post every nasty nothing story about a candidate.

I'm half expecting posts claiming Obama had a black baby with a black woman and that Sen. Clinton is actually a woman.

[jenmito]

32. Do you watch The Colbert Report?

Colbert said he tried to start a rumor that Obama had a Black baby but it didn't work (cause damage). :)
I know. I may have been guilty of some of that but I don't think so. I've never called anyone "Hillbots" or "Hillaryites" or anything like that, at least.

[knowledgeispwr]

33. I do, I actually saw that episode!

it was good for a laugh.

[jenmito]

34. I never miss his show...

Did you see last night when he had Faux News' Judge Napolitano and he accidentally called Colbert "Bill" (O'Reilly)? :D

[Bullet1987]

14. Wait for it...wait for it...

"This is race-baiting by the Obama campaign!!!" -Clinton Supporter.

[jenmito]

15. I'm sure you're right...

OR they'll say she's "old news" or "washed up" or "making a mistake by turning him into the 'Black' candidate again." :eyes:

[NJSecularist]

20. Oprah will be there too

http://www.mydd.com/

LOS ANGELES -- The Obama for America campaign today announced that Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Caroline Kennedy will hold a Get Out The Vote Rally this Sunday in Los Angeles . The rally will be free and open to the public. More details will be released when they become available.

[jenmito]

21. I know. That's what I said in my OP.

:hi:

[my3boyz]

35. I wish Oprah

would strike up some sort of deal so that Barack could have an hour on tv as Hillary has an hour on Hallmark. If he could get some more women behind him the states would be a lot closer.

[grantcart]

37. i have to drive in from San Diego so pls advise time and location asap

[cooolandrew]

39. Wow that is a powerhouse team. Good to see Barack embracing Cali with enthusiasm.

[Jai4WKC08]

40. Will they be serving tea?

I hear that's what ladies do while their menfolk are doing manly things, like watching the Super Bowl or negotiating treaties.

[FrenchieCat]

41. Well, they won't be baking cookies......

Oprah is self made, and so is Michelle. Caroline was born into damn near royalty and never took undue advantage of it. I think that they are very worthy and independent women. Don't you? :shrug:

[Jai4WKC08]

43. Of course I do

My point is, this event is geared toward women, so it must obviously assume women have no interest in the Super Bowl.

Now personally, I don't give a damn about the Super Bowl. But I know lots of women who do.

It's a sexist assumption, akin to Obama's remark about how Hillary has no more experience from working in her husbands administration than by serving tea.
