I hear Oprah's coming to town.
This is a treat. I'll bet she has never set foot in our tiny little state. She'll most certainly draw more attention than all of the Presidential candidates combined. It's fun to watch New Hampshire get all this publicity for just a few months every four years. The rest of the time, we don't really matter too much. But when candidates are running for President, it's 'all eyes' on us.
Winfrey is expected to be in Manchester on Sunday, December 9, stumping for - surprise - Barack Obama. Ever since she announced her allegiance to the Senator from Illinois, Oprah has been on the Obama bandwagon.
So far, we don't know where the Queen of daytime television will be appearing. But one thing is for sure. We are in for a Beatles Invasion-like experience.
Get out your Sharpies. This may never happen again.
UPDATE: The appearance of Oprah and side-kick Presidential Candidate Barack Obama will take place at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester on the evening of Sunday, December 9. It is a ticketed event so you'll want to contact the Obama Campaign if you want to get your hands on a pair of the limited tickets available for the rally.
