Plans set for Iowa, New Hampshire, S. Carolina

DES MOINES, IOWA: Oprah Winfrey will join Democrat Barack Obama again on the campaign trail, this time visiting the early contest states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, the candidate's campaign said Monday.
The popular talk-show host and media mogul plans to visit Iowa on Dec. 8, with stops in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. The following day, she'll travel to Columbia, S.C. Later that day, Obama's campaign said, she'll travel to Manchester, N.H.
This isn't the first time Oprah has lent her star power to the Illinois senator.
In September, she rolled out the red carpet for Obama at a gala fundraiser in California that brought in about $3 million for his campaign.
Winfrey is a well-known fan of Obama, calling him ''my favorite guy'' and ''my choice'' on CNN's Larry King Live last year before he announced he would seek the presidency.
In a news release announcing the events, Obama's campaign said tickets to the Iowa events will be given first to precinct captains, then campaign volunteers, then to supporters and undecided caucus-goers.
It said volunteers can be guaranteed a ticket by completing a four-hour volunteer shift or attending local caucus training before the event.
