      *On the day before America cast their vote for president, Oprah Winfrey was busy hooking up a morning conference call among prominent African Americans to discuss the real possibility of a Barack Obama White House.       

       Politico.com is reporting that the call included Obama himself, as well as Sean "Diddy" Combs, Donna Brazile, House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn and the Rev. Joseph Lowery.      

       The Web site quoted an unnamed participant who said: "Obama talked about being on the cusp of history and what it would say to the world to see his daughters play on the South Lawn of the White House. Oprah told everybody on the line they could make America "truly one nation indivisible."      

       To do her part in getting out the vote, Oprah's show on Tuesday was devoted in part to various first-time voters – from youngsters who just crossed the age barrier, to immigrants with recent citizenship, to filmmaker Tyler Perry.       

       Today's live post-election broadcast of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" will feature political experts and analysts across the country providing their take on the 2008 election.       

       CNN political analyst David Gergen, U.S. Rep. John Lewis and trailblazer Gloria Steinem are among the guests tapped for the post-election discussion.       

       "Listen as they examine what 'Decision '08' really means and how this groundbreaking election could change the fabric of the country forever," notes a press release from Winfrey's Harpo Productions.
