Oprah Winfrey may have introduced Democrat Barack Obama to the women of America -- but the talkshow queen is not rushing to embrace the first woman on a Republican presidential ticket!
Oprah's staff is sharply divided on the merits of booking Sarah Palin, sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
"Half of her staff really wants Sarah Palin on," an insider explains. "Oprah's website is getting tons of requests to put her on, but Oprah and a couple of her top people are adamantly against it because of Obama."
One executive close to Winfrey is warning any Palin ban could ignite a dramatic backlash!
It is not clear if Oprah has softened her position after watching Palin's historic convention speech.
Last year, Winfrey blocked an appearance by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, timed to a promotional tour of his autobiography.
Oprah and executive producer Sheri Salata, who has contributed thousands of dollars to Obama's campaign, refused requests for comment.

Oprah is not a sell out.
She didnt do Clearence THomas either as pointed out in that. It is more about her political views more than the money. Oprah has made a wise decision if ya ask me. Think I will have to watch her show now.
ABout time the Liberal base raises a hand and say's STFU to Conservatives.
Oprah is a core liberal, putting Palin on the show would do nothing but bolster Republican support and mislead house wives to believe Palin is some sort of Liberal when she is anything but a liberal.
