Lets not forget that Oprah is in the tank for Obama and makes no bones about it.

Much hay was made nearly a year ago when Oprah Winfrey announced that she would support — and campaign for — Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama. Her effect in boosting support for Obama in early primary and caucus states like Iowa (which he won), New Hampshire (which he lost) and even South Carolina (which he won) is debatable.

Obama didn't really really take off until Oprah went out there for him. She gave him instant credibility in the eyes of millions.
Lets see what they have in common and why she might support him:
Race - Obvious
Both live in Chicago - Purely a coincidence I'm sure
Personally, I could care less if Palin is invited to the show. I'd hate to see Oprah try to morph into an actual journalist in an attempt to boost her faves chances. Katie Couric almost pulled it off, but I doubt Oprah could.
