  The touchstone of her speech was the #MeToo movement. But her hopeful message -- "A new day is on the horizon" -- could have doubled as a campaign rallying cry.

  Many liberal-leaning celebrities and viewers certainly heard it that way. And that may have been exactly what Winfrey wanted.

  As some political strategists have pointed out in the past year, her fame and wealth could make her a formidable Democratic Party candidate. But insiders have their doubts too: Would Americans really choose a TV star as president twice in a row?

  Winfrey campaigned for Barack Obama in 2008 and endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016. During Clinton's campaign, she discussed the prospect of a female president and said "America, it's about time that we made that decision."

  She said it would be a "seminal moment for women." But the moment has yet to happen -- which is one of the reasons Sunday's speech stirred so much attention.

  Winfrey has deep pockets, an even deeper well of charisma, and instant name recognition, thanks to decades on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
