I am wondering what type of effect this will have on women voting for Hillary Clinton. I know Oprah has a huge influence on this voter group.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Oprah Winfrey will join Democrat Barack Obama again on the campaign trail, this time visiting the early contest states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
The popular talk show host and media mogul plans to visit Iowa on Saturday, Dec. 8, with stops in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. The following day, she'll travel to Columbia, S.C. Later that day, she'll visit New Hampshire, but a location hadn't been announced Monday morning.
This isn't the first time Oprah has lent her star power to the Illinois senator.
In September, she rolled out the red carpet for Obama at a gala fundraiser in California that brought in about $3 million for his campaign.
Winfrey is a well-known fan of Obama, calling him "my favorite guy" and "my choice" on CNN's "Larry King Live" last year before he announced he would seek the presidency.
In a news release announcing the events, Obama's campaign said tickets to the Iowa events will be given first to precinct captains, then campaign volunteers, then to supporters and undecided caucus-goers.
It said volunteers can be guaranteed a ticket by completing a four- hour volunteer shift or attending local caucus training before the event.
