Tyra Banks NOT Endorsing Obama, wants as many candidates on her show as possible
"If you look at a lot of people in the field we're in," says Tyra, "they're constantly endorsing everything - from a new purse to a new hotel.

"This is just another thing ," Banks says.

"I love Oprah using her power, because she has the influence to change what she feels is necessary."

But "Oprah has been endorsing a lot of things," Banks says.

Banks is set to tape an interview with Obama Sept. 27 - though a broadcast date has yet to be set. She says she is in "heavy talks" to book Obama's rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton.

"We want as many candidates as will come on," she says. "We want both sides of the political spectrum."

(for the conspiracy minded, I checked to see if Ms. Banks had been replaced by an evil neocon twin by Rupert Murdoch. So far, no evidence of that has been found.)

Isn't it obvious? They're both African-American women, they both have talk shows--therefore, they're both nationally influential!

:silly:

5. It's so obvious that it would insult the intelligence of amoebas.
Which might explain why the OP thinks he's clever.

8. If Oprah would be supporting Hillary it would be a different story
Obama really has a lot of people scared. That's hilarious.
