“I'd like to have a beer with her. I'd like to meet her kids. She seems like a pretty nice woman," O' Donnell told Extra. "Although I have to say, I am thrilled her party did not win. [But] you got to give it to her for spunk.”
The ultra-liberal O' Donnell admitted, "I think I probably would like her if I met her....She had an amazing life for herself and her family in Alaska. Very successful. Before you knew it, she was the most famous person in the country."
Look back at Sarah Palin on the campaign trail.
But that's not to say the Barack Obama supporter would have been celebrating a John McCain presidential win.
"If McCain won…I would be in the depression unit of the ICU," O' Donnell quipped.

O' Donnell, who has been with partner Kelli Carpenter since 1997,also spoke out about the passing of Proposition 8 -- a California initiative that overrides a previous state Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex unions.
“I was married four years and I was annulled three years ago, so for me, this fight is not new," she said. "Prop 8 is nothing new for me. This has been a long journey...and eventually the world will catch up."
O’Donnell’s primetime show, Rosie Live, airs on NBC November 26th.
