Division in the Ranks

(Fox News) - Oprah Winfrey is denying a report that says her staff is divided about booking Governor Palin. Winfrey hosted Senator Obama on her talk show and even campaigned for the Democratic presidential nominee.

But the Drudge Report quotes one "Oprah" insider as saying, "Half of her staff really wants Sarah Palin on... Oprah's Web site 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 tells Drudge that banning Palin from appearing on the show could ignite a dramatic backlash. But Winfrey denies the report saying, "There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show."
