It is not a big secret that Oprah and other big celebrities contributed millions to Obama's campaign coffers. Oprah's fame definitely boosted Obama's popularity as well. What if Oprah and Hollywood's bigwigs campaigned for McCain instead? Would it change the election results? Share your thoughts, and let's find out how celebrities influence politics.

I think Oprah definately helped Obama win. Personally, I don't think if he would have won by that many votes if Oprah hadn't said that she was voting for him. First she helped many people realise the importance of voting by bringing it up on her show. Second she knows how super influential she is and bringing it on her show told her audience that he's the right guy which made people that weren't sure of who to vote for vote for her cus people trust her opinion. I don't think it's a bad thing. If anything, she helped more people get involved in making sure the nation heads in the right direction which is a step forward...lets hope all goes well for mr obama otherwise oprah's gonna have to explain herself to a lot of people...
