We are grateful that Oprah Winfrey came out to Iowa, South Carolina, and New Hampshire this weekend to speak on behalf of Barack. After the four huge rallies this weekend, many are wondering what impact Oprah will have on the campaign.
Well, she's already made quite an impact -- helping to strengthen and grow our grassroots organization in Iowa, South Carolina and New Hampshire.
By the numbers:
Oprah helped give our organization a big boost this weekend, but we need all of you to continue to build our grassroots movement.
There are only 24 days until the Iowa caucus and we need all of you to contribute in these critical days ahead. Please, even if it's only a small donation, consider giving what you can to the campaign. Go to the Action Center and find out how you can make phone calls or volunteer in an early state or February 5th state. Take hold of the movement.
UPDATE: Time's Ana Marie Cox notes:
What matters the most -- and what these rallies were really about -- was culling a universe of potential voters that no other candidate has.
This is an important point. The best thing about this campaign is that it has brought so many new people to the process -- people who are either getting involved for the first time in their lives or getting involved for the first time in years after a long period of disengagement.
Among the people we've interviewed for the blog or in our videos throughout the campaign, a great many of them fit into this category.
