THUNDER BAY - Oprah Winfrey has just announced that she is ending her iconic afternoon television show in 2011. Across North America people are wondering what is next for Oprah. Perhaps the timing offers some insight. By 2011, it will be time for U.S. President Barack Obama to start firing up the campaign efforts for his second term.

Vice President Joe Biden has been seen by many as less than perfect as Obama's Vice President. One wonders what might happen if Oprah were to become Obama's Vice President?

Winfrey could be positioning herself for a new career in politics. After four years as Obama's second in command, she could be set for a run at the top job in the United States.

Could Winfrey be America's first women President? Hard to tell.

But if, starting in 2011, Oprah were to step in as the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, it could fast track her onto a path that would lead there.

One could picture Oprah's townhall meetings, you could almost feel her sharing her views with Americans, and world leaders.

Could it happen? Hard to say, but knowing how Obama might need a serious boost in 2012 to keep the magic alive, having one of America, and arguably the world's best known women on his team would be a way of doing just that?
