Do you know what it takes to change the Constitution?

It would take way too long, and there would be too much opposition.
The person in question wouldn't keep their popularity that long,
and it would take too much money to keep it going.

Forget about it.

I forgot where I was reading that if Oprah ever ran for president she would win in a heartbeat, and I'd have to agree. Name recognition is key.

I'll see if I can dig up that article.
rogue is right...and if oprah were ever to be considered for a nomination for any party, i would consider moving to uranus (not sure of the pronunciation...)
