2. I loved him on Law & Order.
But I'm extremely intrigued and can't wait to learn more about him and hear what he has to say. And I have no problem with his credentials. After all, the "Terminator" has been a great Governor for California and one of the best Presidents we've ever had spent a large part of his life in Hollywood.
On the Flip Side
The big news in the Democratic camp this morning is that Oprah has endorsed a Presidential candidate for the first time. And who is the lucky winner?? None other than Barack Obama. Really, who didn't see that coming? In fact, she's throwing a private fund raising party for him this weekend at her California estate, "Promiseland," that is expected to raise at least $3M.
I don't know. Somewhere along the line I fell off of the Oprah bandwagon. I feel like she's calculating and manipulative and I just generally dislike her. So it really doesn't matter to me who she endorses. It will be interesting to see, however, exactly how much of an impact this has on Hilary Clinton's campaign.
