THE B & O RAILROAD: OPRAH'S DRIVING THIS TRAIN

After the last democrat debate in Vegas, you would think Her Royal Pantsuit has little to worry about when it comes to the nomination. It's clear to even the casual observer that HRP has the MSM under control, or at least on her side. And if Obama continues his stumbling, bumbling ways in the debates, HRP won't need much help from anyone in the MSM. However, at the end of the day she still needs the voters.

The voters.

Now, in an election such as the one we're faced with, who's the most influential when it comes to "the voters"? If you think it's the MSM, you'd be wrong. The correct answer would be Oprah Winfrey. I'll agree that the MSM, overall, is the most influential entity within our society, but in the case of this election, Oprah comes out on top.

As I said up above, you would think HRP has little to worry about. Wrong. She has plenty to worry about, and her main concern is Oprah. Now that Oprah is hitting the campaign trail in support of Obama, the Clinton Machine must be working 24/7 trying to develop a strategy to offset the Oprah Factor.

The problem with Oprah, is that she controls two things that HRP needs to secure the nomination and a win in the general election: women and blacks. What's more, Oprah is able to reach these two groups more effectively than the MSM could ever dream of doing.

In my opinion, Oprah holds all the cards; she stands between HRP and the White House. We know HRP would give her right testicle to have the backing of Oprah, and we know the Clinton Machine is capable of anything when it comes to winning.

So, how do you think the Clinton Machine will deal with the Oprah Factor? Will they attack Oprah? Obama? Both? Or just attempt to win the support of women and blacks fair and square?

At any rate, this has to be one of the biggest challenges facing the Clintons, and we get to watch the whole thing unfold in the comfort of our living rooms. How fun.
