Morning News: Oprah Makes an Election Eve Comeback!

Posted by Madeline Holler

Oprah, girl, where have you been? Still chasing The Secret or what? Because you went and got your good friend Barack Obama all arena-ready during the primaries, put your hand over your heart and teared up, and then sort of dropped out of the presidential race. We feared you'd never get appointed secretary of book clubs if you turned your back on "the one" ("that one"?).

Yeah, yeah, we know you made a bunch of your viewers mad, what with passing up your good friend Bill's wife and also totally ignoring the ladies on the right. Did you remember your spirit (and billion dollar empire) and get out of politics as fast as you got in?

No matter, you're back! At least for the weekend.

Political  spouses make the news this morning!

Michelle Obama told Larry King that McCain's "that one" comment didn't bother her. (That woman can so rise above.) 

Cindy McCain's feeling much less generous when it comes to Obama, who she said has the ability to send a cold chill down her spine.

Today's itty bitty Daily Palin is about Sarah's other half (no, not John McCain ... her husband).

Todd Palin has finally answered questions about his role in Troopergate. He also attended a rally in Alaska with youngest daughter Piper. (I don't care who you're voting for, how cute is she?)

AIG is ready for a fresh round of handouts from the government. They've blown through billions already and say they need $37 billion more and they swear this time it's not for pretty hands and feet.

If you're paying a mortgage and/or don't live under a rock, you already know this. One in six homeowners owe more on their house than its currently worth.

In a show of too little too late, the school board in Gloucester "Pregnancy Pact," Mass., has voted to distribute contraception at its schools.

Also rethinking their strategy is the Nebraska legislature. All these teens getting abandoned at safe haven's is kind of making them feel weird. Of the 17 dropped off so far, only 4 have been under the age of 10.

The rate of overseas adoption in the U.S. is declining. And Brangelina won't be able to pick up all the slack.

Oh, random newsbit: This woman claims she's Elvis's half-sister. Don't you sort of want it to be true?
