Odessa

We have a history making presidential race here in the US - a white woman and a black man are strong candidates for the democratic party. The closest we had come previously was Mondale/Farraro - and that would have been a woman vice-president.

We also have Oprah, who is revered to cult-like proportions. Her favor can make or break a book, a movie or a movement. Until recently, she kept her political leaning low-key. That was until now. Her sudden interest does make one take pause.

She typically rallies behind women's issues - Is Hillary not woman enough?

Is she only coming out to support Obama because he is black or because she sees something unique in his character that transcends color?

It's just something that makes me go "hmmmm..."
