Second Attempt: Obama / Oprah 2008?
Since Clark/ Edwards won't work, how about an "O" ticket?

The celebrity factor could work wonders - it worked for Arnold!!

7. I believe Al said
he was a "recovering politician."
Never know what he'll do when the recovery is complete...

6. Unless we got rid of the Electoral College by then, it wouldn't work
They're both Illinois residents, and we'd have to forfeit that state's EC votes if they were the ticket.

21. Don't forget Bush and Cheney were both from Texas and that
didn't stop them. But of the Constitution means nothing to the Republicans.

20. Would she demand that we put her photo on all currency immediately?
Good grief - what a goofy idea.

Maybe we should concentrate on those who would know how to govern instead of mere name recognition.

And Oprah has been SO outspoken in her opposition to the Bush administration.
