Oprah!
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007 12:37 pm(12:37 p.m.) It was probably inevitable. With all the attention on Iowa’s caucuses, could Oprah Winfrey really be far behind?
The Chicago Sun-Times’ Lynn Sweet reports that Barack Obama told a man in New Hampshire that Winfrey, who’s endorsed Obama, would be coming to the Hawkeye State.
While working the crowd in Manchester, Obama reportedly told a man inquiring whether Oprah would hit the campaign trail, told him, “first, she’s coming to Iowa.” Obama also indicated he’d go to New Hampshire, too.

No confirmation from the Obama camp on a visit. Tommy Vietor, his spokesman, would only say: “The only univerally adored role model I can confirm is coming to Iowa in December is Santa.”
