Unlike many celebrities, Oprah Winfrey does not shout her political
views to the world. However, there's evidence that she is a Democrat:
"Winfrey won't talk about her personal politics, but according to
Federal Election Commission reports, she has supported Democrats in
three recent elections. In 1998 she gave $5,000 to the Democratic
National Committee. In '96, she gave 10,000 to the Democratic
Senatorial Campaign Committee. And in '92, she gave $1,000 to Illinois
Democrat Carol Moseley-Braun's successful election bid for the
Senate."

"[Al] Gore, who feels like he's been on a roll in warming up to voters
since last month's Democratic National Convention, so eagerly leapt at
the chance to be the first politician to grace Winfrey's stage that
she said she had to skip the Sunday night Emmy presentations in Los
Angeles even though she had already bought a gown.
Winfrey said she had previously stayed away from interviewing
candidates because 'I never felt like I could have a real, real honest
conversation with them.'
She is, however, a partisan who's given $12,000 to Democrats since 1992."
