Oprah Winfrey going to Democratic convention

Oprah Winfrey will be there when Barack Obama accepts the Democratic nomination for president later this month in Denver.

There are no plans for Winfrey to take the stage at the acceptance speech, longtime friend Gayle King told Entertainment Tonight.

"Oprah has not been asked to introduce him, is not expecting to be asked to introduce him and I would doubt that she would want to introduce him. She thinks this is his moment," King said.

Winfrey accompanied Obama at rallies in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina during the primary campaign. She also held a gala fund-raiser at her estate in Santa Barbara, Calif.
