I know it gets thrown out there alot. But if the Democrats are expecting another loss they may as well run her. She has a massive popularity following, she'd have the balck vote, the woman vote and a large chunk of the poor and middle class votes. She's a "woman of the people" but also a billionaire.

And heck, it just might be true. Given she's quit her talkshow.

If she ran Demo, Id vote republican. Not because she is black, nor a woman. But just because Ive never cared for her. *shrug*

What is she ran against Hitler...? It's a toss up between someone you "don't care for" and the next holocaust...?

Hitler wouldnt be running for President. And whats to say my views of her dont put her close to the same mark anyhow in my book ? I cant really explain my dislike of her. But Ive never liked nor trusted anything about her.

Or was there another jab you were going for that I missed ? :)

Oh we are. At the Let's Plot and Scheme Against Tyma Meeting (LPSATM) last night we voted to removes one sock from every pair you own.

hmmmm hard choice...
I'm pretty sure President Winfery would give us all cars for her birthday...

well, atleast 3 things are clear

1) i was right
2) you are honest
3) I know why my socks are dropping in numbers so fast.

Anyhow, Only person who could run against Oprah to make me vote for Oprah would be hillary clinton (ya just picked the wrong evil doer with your what-if)

Good thread Rotovia, but I would have made it with a public poll, I love public polls.

I think if we are going to vote and express our views and comments on Nationstates it should be a public poll.

Once again I say, good thread Rotovia.

I'm pretty sure President Winfery would give us all cars for her birthday...

Oh, so you think our votes should be for sale then..... :)

Vote for me then, and Ill fulfill your every wish... once Im firmly in power that is :fluffle:

hahahahahaha!

Yeah she'd probably get voted in just because of who she is.. She'd give all the voters free 'goodies'!

It would of course be oprah v hillary.

Can you imagine President Oprah sitting down and discussing what happened to Osama as a child and bringing in Dr Phil to have couciling sessions! :D

A black woman as the president of the United States of America? I'd be surprised if that happened in the next 20 or 30 years or so, if not longer. A white woman would be pushing it I think. I have no idea why, it just seems to be the way these things work. *Shrug*

Who is this dang Dr phil ? A guy at work is constantly ranting about how he thinks the guy is the anti-christ. Other then him and now here Ive never heard of the chap.

Good. Keep it that way

I've never actually seen his show (what with having a job and all :D) but if what I've seen on Letterman (yeah, they (used to) show that over here) is anything to go by he's just another one of those 'problem chat' hosts. A particularly aggressive one (i.e. he seems to be the kind of person who'd shout at you if you took too long to mourn a dead relative) though...

Hahahaha you won't be saying that when Hillary wins in 2008. And she will win :D

Oh he's an annoying guy who seemed to be a permanent guest and now has his own show...he's scary and bald I wouldn't be too concerned that you haven't heard of him. That guy at work must be very very sad or a girl.

Hahahaha you won't be saying that when Hillary wins in 2008. And she will win :D

Do I detect a tiny hint of sarcasm there...? :confused: :D

She said she won't run. You think she's just bluffing?

Oh and I think Oprah would make a great president if she decided to run but I can't imagine that she'd want a temp job where she couldn't call all the shots.

She said she won't run. You think she's just bluffing?


She said she wasn't running for Senate too. Bill said he wasn't running for President and he did. She has to run for the Senate again in case she doesn't win the presidency that way her name will still be out there and she will still be in politics. She'll be forming an exploritory committee next.

The very concept of a television presenter assuming the role of a president is endemic of the inherently farcical nature of American politics, since a politician, as Machiavelli outlays, is an erudite, intelligent individual who is capable of comprehending and accordingly acting in a situation. A television presenter, as I percieve it, adheres to none of the above. A truly legitimate politician is one such as Kenneth Clarke, Gordon Brown, Robin Cook or David Davis, all of whom possess degrees from reputable universities, and are solely political as a public entity. If any remain unsure of my rationale and justification, I allude to the following, would any Britain accept Trisha as PM, and quite how appalling a politician has Kilroy contrived to be?

I couldn't have said it better myself. Although I think anyone who doesn't live in the UK or Ireland will know who Trisha is...shudder shudder...who is Kilroy tho?

Talk show host who labelled Arabs as "women oppressors" and "ragheads" in a tabloid newspaper column, was compelled to leave his talk show, became a member of the UKIP party and arsed that up into an entirely racist party, started his own party whose credibility is maintained by possessing Joan Collins as a spokeswoman. He also spent a week with Gypsies on a reality television program and contravened all their customs, refused to stay in a caravan, and leaft several days early.

ah now I remember!

It would be a great chance for Oprah to put her money where her mouth is. If she managed to stay true, she would make a terrific president.

Good thread Rotovia, but I would have made it with a public poll, I love public polls.

I live to please... Oh, and I can't be asked clicking "Include poll in thread"

Oh, so you think our votes should be for sale then..... :)Yes, my vote cost about a Bently...

Vote for me then, and Ill fulfill your every wish... once Im firmly in power that is :fluffle:Uh... ok :D :fluffle:

Imagine a rich white guy with a pHd in sociology giving advice on complex family disfunction... and who uses his "Don't mess with Texas" attitutde to push ratings...

A particularly aggressive one (i.e. he seems to be the kind of person who'd shout at you if you took too long to mourn a dead relative) though...
Oh and he does...

Hmmm... I'm just not so confident that an African American woman who happens to be a democrat would fare so well. It's hard enough to get a candidate elected with just one of these traits. We have to overcome a few major social and political obstacles before she even has a chance.

I don't know. Her refusal to appear in Letterman's Superbowl of Love certainly alienated the Late Night crowd, showing that she's a divider and not a unifier.

Well, if it came down to a choice between Opera, Hillary, Martha (Stewart) or any Republican who would you vote for?

Because black women are superior? Ok!? I'm reserved on Oprah. I have no idea how she would run the country. I only know she runs a TV show. And gave away free cars. (Bad communist jokes apply) I have to believe there are better Democrats out there for the job. Saying that the Dems should put up Oprah for the candidacy because she's a black woman and will get black votes and women votes is...a horrible thing to say really, IMHO.

I'd put it up between Hillary and the republican; depending on which republican.

I know it gets thrown out there alot. But if the Democrats are expecting another loss they may as well run her. She has a massive popularity following, she'd have the balck vote, the woman vote and a large chunk of the poor and middle class votes. She's a "woman of the people" but also a billionaire.

I am not exactly sure why she'd want to run for the presidency. Even without her talkshow, she is the most powerful woman in American entertainment, and undoubtedly the richest. She has a magazine, a production business, and stars in a movie every few years. She may run for a smaller federal office, but I think she is more happy in entertainment. Besides, she has only waded into politics in her shows, and doesn't exactly take sides on issues.

I'd put it up between Hillary and the republican; depending on which republican.The point is, if the Democrats expect a loss they may as well have a tactical loss. Hell when the Republicans trample Orah at the polls the Dems can shout racist, sexist, Republicans for the next four years.

This plan has my seal of approval.

Eight years at least.

oooo if the dems run oprah, the repubs can run their flagship talkshow host RUSH LIMBAUGH

now that would be a good campaign

And heck, it just might be true. Given she's quit her talkshow.

she WHAT???!!! i don't think i can go on :( ...

I wouldn't vote for her, nice and republican me.....
