DES MOINES, Iowa (CNN) — Political endorsements rarely translate into votes, but sometimes the timing of one can carry great significance.

That's what Sen. Barack Obama's campaigners hope for as they pick up the backing of Oprah Winfrey less than one month from the Iowa caucuses.

The three-state "Oprah-bama" tour starts at a Des Moines, Iowa, rally Saturday in a space that can accommodate thousands. It then moves east to Cedar Rapids for an event expected to bring in close to 8,500 people.

2. Thanks. It's only a matter of time before the Obama-phobes show up with their vitriol.

Personally, I've pledged to keep it positive...in the spirit of the Man's awesome message.

...for the rest of the day, at least. :bounce:

3. They are a vitriolic bunch, aren't they?

I am by no means what one would call an Obama Supporter, but I know people having a tantrum when I see it.

Jed Clampett years ago ...

5. Just finished watching the videos.

Oprah was great and hit all the right notes.

I think we have a good chance of winning this and it's a feeling I'm a little afraid to embrace just yet... but Barack keeps relighting that hope.

Thanks so much for posting this. :hi:


GObama!
