Deletion of Proposed naming of Oprah Winfrey to Barack Obama's senate seat (2nd nomination)

Comment: A notable and highly discussed event that has been covered in multiple reliable sources independent of the article's subject. It easily passes the |GNG, and I fail to see how this is just a news story. Merge to a new article about Obama's Senate seat if necessary, but this article can stand on its own
