Senator Oprah?

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who faces impeachment for allegedly trying to sell Barack Obama's open senate seat, tells Diane Sawyer that he considered appointing Oprah Winfrey as Obama's replacement.  Blagojevich said that he decided against offering the seat to Oprah because he didn't think she would take it. 

Well, of course she wouldn't take it.  A power position for most, a job as U.S. Senator seems a little small timey for Oprah.  Oprah's show, website and magazine give her  a supportive audience of millions that senators can only dream of.  The woman owns her own television network for goodness sake! Oprah is far more in a position of power right where she is than on the senate floor, dontcha think? She has the power (and the money) to make positive changes globally (not just in Illinois or the U.S.) without having to answer to anyone - not voters, not nobody. Wouldn't make a lick of sense for her to give that up.
