anyone watching Oprah??

[berner59]

Hate to admit it myself but she's got a whole show on getting people to vote...Dew Barrymore, Camerian Dizz, P Diddy and others...good stuff... They were showing how this is really energizing the public...this HAS to be good for us...yes???

[RoundRockD]

1. I don't get Oprah until 4 ct.

Dr. Phil is on now with the First Couple.

[MODemocrat]

13. I heard that John Kerry will be on Dr. Phil's show at later date

I've tried to get this information, but can't seem to find anything
about it yet.

[Carla in Ca]

25. I think I saw October 8th as the date

n/t

[wildeyed]

2. Yes!

I am watching, but behind on tivo. But it looks good so far. She is appealing to groups that don't vote, but will break for Kerry if they do. Women and young voters. She has a HUGE audience.

[sonicx]

3. yup, diaz got in a couple subtle digs at bush too.

it's pretty good.

[Cha]

16. Ophra got in a couple of Digs at

bush too! She said something like.."Mission Accomplished" when Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal got all those students to register to vote!

And she said..They're "leaving no one behind" when talking about the people who were registering!

[faithnotgreed]

19. thanks zidzi - appreciate the specifics. wish i could watch it!

[Cha]

26. Here's what I could find,faith...Ophra's Voting Party!

Enjoy!:D

30. zidzi - i knew i always liked you..... thanks so much

[wildeyed]

18. She was great talking about how women had to vote to protect

the right to their own bodies. Teared up and everything.

[sonicx]

23. yup, at one point she also said "we're alone in the world"

;)

[Butterflies]

4. No not watching, but that's good news

getting more people to vote is definitely good for us. I've been reading about how a much larger percentage of new voter registrations are Dems!

[berner59]

6. I truly think this is THE story...

The new voters, the young voters, the voters who know that they can make a change!!!

[JimmyJazz]

5. no crossfire and the students are only cheering the dems so far.

[JimmyJazz]

7. I take that back - some of the Miami students are applauding the

Repuke rhetoric, but it's not as loud as the applause for the dems.

[librarycard]

8. I gave up on her when she got Arnie into the CA governor's mansion

She won't reprieve herself from that sleight of hand.

[cally]

9. If she helps defeat *, then I'll sort of, somehow, maybe forgive her

She has much to do to do to win back this once admirer.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

10. Ychhhhh! I'd rather have my earlobes fried.

The dumbing down continues as our wannabee national leaders appeal to the lowest common denominator. What's next? "Candidate Challenge" on "Wheel of Fortune"?

[prolesunited]

12. Umm...

The show was simply about voting and getting registered — how important it is and how some died to secure that right. Like Oprah or not, she reaches millions of people, so how would encouraging them to vote be a bad thing.

[Cha]

21. There was no "dumbing down"!

This was a very intelligently done show on registering to vote as if your life depended on it! Because it does!

"Vote Or Die"!!

[merh]

28. Candidates for election have always tried to appeal to the

common man and the lowest common denominator - nothing new -- nothing new!

[donheld]

33. Maybe you need your earlobes fried

the show was the opposite of "dumbing down" :spank::spank::spank::spank::spank::spank::spank::spank:

[wildeyed]

11. That show will make my job so much easier.

When I am standing around the Food Lion parking lot begging people to register and to vote, it helps allot if they heard it the night before from Oprah, P. Diddy and Cameron Diaz. I thought the guests showed allot of heart. Good show.

[Cha]

14. I'm watching ..just got on to give heads up if

need be..there's a commercial now but this stuff is Awesome!

Got me all teared up!

Drew Barrymore just brought to the audiences attention that when PDiddy was talking to ed gillispi..that ed gave PDiddy the a run around, stock poitician, answer and put down the other party at the same time!!

[sugarcookie]

15. I've teared up

several times Awesome show!

[faithnotgreed]

17. thats really sweet. democracy IS powerful when talked of honestly

wish i could hear more about the details of the show... ill have to look for a transcript

[tanyev]

20. Show just wrapped up here in TX

It was great. I got emotional, too. But I had to roll my eyes when Jake Gyllenhal registered that sorority in Calif. Probably quite a few Bushbot future Stepford wives in that group. Oh well. They have the right to vote too. :shrug:

[faithnotgreed]

22. yet another example that were the good guys!

[Booster]

24. I'm giving big time kudos to Oprah for this show, but

then I've always been a fan. If you really listen to her, she lets you know which way she leans but she can't come right out and say it for obvious reasons - anthrax being one of them.

[qanda]

27. It was a good show...

Parts of it were very sobering. To think that 40 million women in our country do not vote. Hopefully, as P Diddy said, the revolution will be televised on November 2.

[Cha]

29. I just remembered that ..that P Diddy said

"On November 2, ..the Revolution Will be Televised!"

I thought of our saying that "the Revolution will not be televised ..it's Online"..but P Diddy thinks it's going to be Televised!:7

"VOTE OR DIE!"

[theboss]

31. I still don't know how to deal with the fact that I am on Diddy's side

I've comfortably live in my life in an anti-Diddy world. Now, I have to hope that we can deliver 200,000 votes in swing states.

Can't we get a hologram of Sinatra out there or something...just for me?

[donheld]

32. I just watched the show

my opinion is it was a wonderful show. We all may wish he would do more, but today i think she did great. She didn't bash bush like some of us would like to see, but like others have said she did get some very good digs in :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
