Oprah Winfrey has been telling anyone that will listen that she and her BFF Gayle King are not lesbian lovers. But now a published report will claim that Oprah may have a new suitor (no - not in that way) from the political spectrum.

A report set for Star Magazine's weekly offering will claim that Hillary Clinton has put out a feeler to see if Oprah would consider the veep spot on the 2008 ticket.
That should send shock waves through DC and especially the Republican Party.
Though Hillary has yet to declare her official candidacy it is near certain that she will run and she is far and away the Democratic frontrunner for the gig.

The weekly magazine has this item:
New York Senator Hillary Clinton mad a bid to snag Oprah Winfrey as her running mate in the 2008 presidential elections.
"Hillary thought that with Oprah's pulling power they'd be a shoe-in," the friend says. "So she sent Oprah an e-mail to ask her if she'd be interested. But when Oprah got it, she wasn't sure if Hillary was being serious or if it was a joke."

The whole thing actually reads like a joke, but stranger things have happened in Washington DC.
And it may take Oprah's star power to make Hillary Clinton electable as she is under attack from the left wing of her party and of course will face a tough time from the GOP.
Cue the rep™: No denials yet.
