Mysterious Shoulder Finally Identified

With approximately 200,000 shoulders on lean on (or is it 400,000?) before Barack Obama's victory speech in Grant Park the other night, Oprah picked this guy.

"Friends around the country called me and said, 'Who is with you?' " Oprah said during a live broadcast of her show the following morning, but she tamped down speculation by explaining that he was just a random bystander and not a new heartthrob.

"I don't know who this guy is," she said. "But he was very nice to me. At one point I was just sobbing on his shoulder, mascara everywhere."

Well, as shoulders go, this guy's are pretty broad: He has been identified as Sam Perry, a Reuters reporter turned Silicon Valley venture capitalist who had volunteered as a communications director for the Obama campaign.
