Some Talking Oprah for President CHICAGO, Oct 05, 1999 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- She's a multimillionaire talk-show host, actress and -- most recently -- college professor. Now some Reform Party members are talking about President Oprah Winfrey. Party members from Minnesota have created a Web site to draft Ms. Winfrey for the 2000 presidential race. ''It is Jesse Ventura times 100,'' said Paul Larsen, chairman of the draft committee and a party leader from suburban Minneapolis. ''She's got a thousand times as much money, 100 times the name recognition. She has a sterling reputation for honesty.'' The queen of talk is not interested, a spokeswoman said. But Larsen said he is not giving up and will ask Ventura, Minnesota's governor and the nation's highest elected Reform Party official, to help persuade her to run. Ventura spokesman Doug Friedline said the whole situation ''has gotten kind of weird. ... It's almost like we have celebrity-itis in the Reform Party.''
