At the big Oprah/Michelle Obama rally today in California, Maria Shriver unexpectedly showed up to endorse Obama. kos gets a little breathless about it:
Update: Keep in mind, this is now top-of-the-fold news in every California newspaper tomorrow, it will lead every newscast. And it should push into Tuesday as the governor is forced to answer questions about it.UPDATE: Joan Baez, too, randomly, in a letter to the editor of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Well played, Obama campaign. Well played.
Update II: Shriver just said that she decided this morning to speak. It wasn't planned. So maybe it wasn't well played by the Obama campaign. Maybe they just got damn lucky.
