Sarah Palin blows off Oprah Winfrey

<img alt="Jeff Vespa and Matt Stroshane/Getty Images" title="Jeff Vespa and Matt Stroshane/Getty Images" src="http://a323.yahoofs.com/phugc/7TyIDmEvY1is/photos/f16cdd640ba0c3cee785cfebb1495ebc/mr_b099b431fe99f6.jpg?ug_____DVIH2EP.F" align="left" height="215" width="400">When vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin joined John McCain on the campaign trail, Barack Obama supporter Oprah Winfrey made it very clear that she would not be having the Alaska governor as a guest on her show. And, in the days leading up to Election Day, Palin did very minimal press. <br><br>Now that the election is over, and extensive appearance invitations have been extended to Palin, she’s accepted many offers—but completely snubbed Oprah. <br><br>&quot;I said I would be happy to talk to Sarah Palin when the election was over,” Winfrey tells Extra. “I went and tried to talk to Sarah Palin and instead she talked to Greta [Van Susteren]. She talked to Matt [Lauer]. She talked to Larry [King]. But she didn&#39;t talk to me.&quot;<br><br>Is Oprah worried Palin will avoid the biggest daytime talk show forever? Not a chance. &quot;Maybe she&#39;ll talk to me now that she has a [multi-million dollar] book deal,&quot; says Winfrey. Think Oprah will offer Palin up a spot in her book club?<br><br>Sarah Palin may be blowing off Oprah, but the host is determined to have some other, more prominent political figures back on her show. &quot;There&#39;s always an open invitation for the president-elect and first lady,&quot; she says. <br><br>Watch the clip below. Do you think Palin is avoiding Oprah because she’s intimidated and knows the host is a staunch Obama supporter? After all, Winfrey is taping her talk show from Washington DC during Inauguration week.<br><br><span class="yui-media"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" src="http://d.yimg.com/static.video.yahoo.com/yep/YV_YEP.swf?ver=2.2.30" flashvars="id=10976412&amp;vid=4064771&amp;lang=en-us&amp;intl=us&amp;thumbUrl=http%3A//us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/i/bcst/yp/shine/2939/76236271.jpg&amp;embed=1" height="322" width="512"></span>

    Good ! I can't stand hearing from her anymore. Oprah would tear her a new one . That's why she won't go on the show. I'm thrilled.

    I don't think she ever WANTED to be on "Oprah", before or after the election.

    If I were Oprah, I would drop it. It is what it is.

    Why are you people at Shine not posting my comment? Is it to radical for the public to view? If I was paranoid I would think that's the case.

    GOOD, I hope she continues to snub Oprah! Now that Palin may be snubbing Oprah the media makes a big deal out of it. I think Oprah should retire and get off of TV along with all liberal media.

    LOL, as much as I dislike Palin, I think it's hilarious that Oprah's being "snubbed". Awww, did the "Oracle" not get her way this time? LOL.........
