WINFREY WILL SUPPORT OBAMA AT DEMOCRATIC CROWNING

U.S. chatshow queen OPRAH WINFREY has confirmed she will support U.S. presidential hopeful BARACK OBAMA on the night he is crowned America's Democratic party leader.
The TV icon has championed the Illinois senator throughout his campaign, speaking out on her daily chatshow to urge people to vote for the politician.
Winfrey came under fire from female fans after she refused to back Hillary Clinton - the first woman to run for U.S. presidency - before the politician lost the race to become the Democrat presidential candidate to her rival Obama earlier this year (08).
And the TV mogul is taking her support a step further, by announcing she will attend Barack's official crowning at the end of the party's four-day convention in Denver, Colorado later this month (Aug08).
A representative for Winfrey says, "She will be there."
Earlier this month (Aug08), U.S. economists mathematically calculated the number of votes Winfrey had won for Obama - claiming she had won the senator and estimated 1,015,519 voters so far.
