And, in the days leading up to Election Day, Palin did very minimal press. Now that the election is over, and extensive appearance invitations have been extended to Palin, she’s accepted many offers—but completely snubbed Oprah. "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't talk to me." Is Oprah worried Palin will avoid the biggest daytime talk show forever? Not a chance. "Maybe she'll talk to me now that she has a [multi-million dollar] book deal," says Winfrey. Think Oprah will offer Palin up a spot in her book club? Sarah Palin may be blowing off Oprah, but the host is determined to have some other, more prominent political figures back on her show. "There's always an open invitation for the president-elect and first lady," she says. 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. <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&vid=4064771&lang=en-us&intl=us&thumbUrl=http%3A//us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/i/bcst/yp/shine/2939/76236271.jpg&embed=1" height="322" width="512">

The only reason we are hearing about this...is that the liberals have to whine when they don't get their way, and find it to be fault of "someone else."

Hi Oprah,
I wanted to tell you that my husband has been watching your show on and off. He really likes your health and fitness shows. I had walked into my kitchen and saw your show on the TV. I said to my husband "Oh what are you watching! I said to him "Oh your watching Oprah"! If you are ever in Wilmington, Delaware please contact me. The women from the (WIN) Women In Networking Groups I belong to would love to see you either at the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce or The New Castle County Chamber of Commerce. I am sure Mr. Norman Oliver would enjoy the
pleasure of meeting you. He is from Nor Enterprises - Our Youth located in Wilmington,Delaware. He helps with severing the community both Young and Old. He does a Turkey Drive for the seniors within the community every year. My company donated 300 turkeys, fed 126 family's, and we helped with his Soul Toy Drive. Oh and Rev. Janet Harmon would like to see you too. There are a lot of people who would like to see you. I hope you can come sometime this year in 2009. Please email me 1 week before arriving. Take care Oprah, and may God Bless You for all the hard work you do to help the people in The United States of America.
Sincerely,
Nancy Stabler
