     *Ultra conservative Rupert Murdoch and his wife, Windi, not only attended an unabashedly liberal party for Arianna Huffington, but he was reportedly overheard at the function praising Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

      While mingling at Huffington's fete for her book "Right Is Wrong: How the Lunatic Fringe Hijacked America, Shredded the Constitution, and Made Us All Less Safe," Murdoch approached the author and started chatting enthusiastically about Obama's strong showing in the Indiana and North Carolina primaries.

       "It's a great day for Obama. Very good. The wall broke," Murdoch said, according to the Daily News' Rush & Malloy column."

       Huffington, a former Republican, has known Murdoch for 30 years. Some Murdoch-watchers have gone so far as to speculate that one or more of his newspapers may endorse Obama over John McCain. One confidant cautions: "Rupert really does admire Obama. But he hasn't decided yet about endorsements."
