Some people might think that when Oprah Winfrey’s endorsement doesn’t make a difference in the polls, it’s time to give up. But Barack Obama isn’t “some people.” And that’s why he’s called on the services of the Butter Cow Lady to forge a lead over Hillary once and for all.
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) needs to make a cultural connection with the rural caucus-goers of Iowa, a state that will make or break his presidential campaign.
So Obama has enlisted Duffy Lyon, a farmer famous for sculpting cows out of butter at the Iowa State Fair, to give him tractor cred on the radio, amid the farm news and pickin’ music.
Oprah Winfrey’s endorsement tickled his Obama’s fundraisers in California, but hasn’t translated into a noticeable bump in national polls.
…Obama today begins airing a 60-second radio ad called “For Us” – on country music and other stations — in which she introduces herself as raising “dairy cows and beef cattle here in Iowa.”
“But you might remember me as the state fair’s Butter Cow Lady,” she says. “You know, you see a lot of manure in our line of work. It’s a lot like politics. You got to know what’s bull and what’s for real. Barack Obama’s got a real plan for rural America. And it’s gutsy because it looks out for us, not lobbyists.”
