Conservatives focusing their sights on Obama

The conservative newsmax.com, which has previously published works attacking Bill and Hillary Clinton, will be releasing a report on Oprah Winfrey's influence on the Barack Obama race in their new print edition.

Newsmax.com did commission a reputable polling firm, Zogby, to conduct a survey on Oprah's political influence apparently finding that the TV host has plenty of clout. She is described as the "most influential woman in America."

Elsewhere, Ann Coulter said that a Newsweek poll showing Barack Obama leading all Republican candidates and by a wider margins than other Democrats as somehow aiding al-Qaeda. She did not explain her remarks.

Rush Limbaugh has also launched a satire against Obama using the "Magic Negro" theme.

These efforts help strengthen the view that Republicans fear Obama more than any other Democratic contender.
