Erin,

Here is your answer.
It is the right of every American to endorse a candidate who they believe in. I haven't whole heartedly believed in any presidential candidate in the last two decades. Perhaps Oprah, along with myself, has finally found a candidate worth believing in and endorsing. The fact that his poll numbers jumped as a result of the Oprah endorsement is only credit to the kind of man he is. The afformentioed candidates you mentioned were fine candidates but did they really inspire. Because they didn't get the endorsement, only means they didn't do enough to inspire Oprah to do so.

This race is bigger than one endorsement, but if that endorsement brings people to the polls to end the mess of the last 7 years, than is it worth it, regardless of who she endorses.
