Going Rogue: An American Life
According to the Associated Press, Governor Palin has completed her memoir, titled Going Rogue: An American Life. Her publisher has pushed the release date to November 17th.
Harper publisher Jonathan Burnham says the former Alaska governor invested herself deeply and passionately in the project. He says the book contains fascinating detail.
The 400-page book is the first for Palin, who has been an object of fascination since Republican Sen. John McCain chose her as his running mate during his 2008 presidential bid. The book will be called "Going Rogue: An American Life."

Update by Hal: Here is more from Politico:
Sarah Palin’s publisher plans to announce Tuesday that the title of her eagerly awaited memoir will be “Going Rogue: An American Life.”
Publication is being moved up from spring to Nov. 17 in order to catch the holiday book-buying season. The former Alaska governor has been in huge demand as a speaker, and continues to harvest a bounty of media attention.
A mammoth first printing of 1.5 million copies has been ordered — the same first run as “True Compass,” the memoir of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.
Palin had a deadline of Sept. 15 for her manuscript and turned it in a bit early. Copy-editing and fact-checking are now underway in a race to meet the crash publishing schedule, which has been accelerated four or five months because of the huge anticipated demand.
After Palin left office on July 26, she went with her husband, Todd, and her kids to San Diego, the home of her collaborator, Lynn Vincent, and worked on the book for several weeks.
Later, Palin spent several days in New York, going over the final edits.
Palin mischievously embraced the phrase “going rogue” at the end of her troubled campaign for vice president on the ticket headed by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz).

Sarah Palin has finished her memoir just four months after the book deal was announced, the AP reports. The book will be called Going Rogue: An American Life.
The release date has been moved up from the spring to Nov. 17 with a huge first printing of 1.5 million copies.

Smart , it'll outfoxed those other "books" and become a perfect Christmas gift.
I am SO buying this book. I LOVE the name
The title is awesome! Remember when the McCain staffers were accusing her of "going rogue" 10 days before the election?
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/25/palin.tension/index.html
Wow, a very unconventional title and looks like a very unconventional book. I am glad none of the sappy titles suggested by our gang made the cut.
I forgot to add the smiley. :)
I just tried pre-ordering it at Amazon.com but it's not in their system yet.
Awesome! I know how I'm spending the Thanksgiving holiday. ;o)
Does anyone know how early you can pre-order on Amazon? I want this book in my hands ASAP!
This is excellent news....and I love the title.
Can't wait to read it.
Is it just me....or does she always exceed expectations?
Sarah 2012
400 pages?
Oh goody!!!
LOVE the title! And I LOVE that she wrote a 400-page book in 4 months...awesome! I guess the journals she keeps came in handy...
Way to go, Governor Palin!
As soon as this book come out, I am all over it. I'm going Rogue! And wow, 400 pages? That's a lot of writing!
400 pages..oh boy this is gonna be good. Wait, breaking news, the book is sold out already. Well, you know that will happen. This book will sell out before it even hits the stores. November 17th is perfect, right before the holidays.
Actually, Narciso called it on the thread below.
Excuse me for a sec-
WHOOPY! WHOOPY! WHOOPY! WHOOPY! WHOOPY! WHOOPY! WHOOPY! WHOOPY!
Oh. My. Gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YA HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
-Jane
Okay, which one of you is going to buy this for me for Christmas? :)
You guys, we need to have a reading group thread when the book comes out so we can all post our thoughts as we're reading it! Like the Harry Potter parties.
WHA HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
-Jane
***doing very extreme happy dance***
Woot! coming out in NOV!
awesome title
Yogi41-
I will :)
MsLiberty-
Excellant idea! Someone dress up as Todd, someone dress up as Sarah, etc. Just like the Harry Potter parties! :)
-Jane
This is why I bought my Kindle. I can pre-order the book and at 12:01 on the day of its release it will automatically download to my Kindle. I'll brew a pot of coffee and pull an all nighter.
Heh. She used one of the media's spin phrases as the title of her book. Clever way to throw it back in their faces.
"I can see the bestseller's list from my writing desk."
Obama is thinking "Wait, she wrote it by herself, she didn't need Bill Ayers to write it like he wrote mine, damn"
RUN SARAH RUN!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!
(sorry about the caps and !)
-Jane
Ad campaign:
"Bring Sarah Palin home for the holidays..."
(And where would I sign up for that honor?...)
"Going Rogue." I love it. Much better than my pick, "With a Servant's Heart." Definitely suggests a different tone.
"I can see the bestseller's list from my writing desk." lol
This means the book tour is happening soon, right?
Guys, I actually feel high or something.
It's the weirdest feeling, like I'm loopy or something.
-Jane
I wonder what this book will be all about..Policy? Her life? the Obama Administration..WOW this is gonna be good. I bet one its on pre release it will already sell out
Jane,
You're sweet. Hopefully you know I was kidding. I'm hoping to find a book signing in So. Cal. that I can attend.
This means we'll be seeing her soon, since she'll have to go out and promote it. I'm sure she'll show up on Fox and talk radio. Yea!!!
I'm asking for a copy for Christmas. :)
-Jane
Seriously, I felt high when I read the link from Narciso.
Only from Sarah Palin.
:)
-Jane
I can't wait to get a copy.
I hope her first interview is with Glenn Beck, Rush, or Levin.
This is going to be awesome!
Wow! This is certainly going to make my Christmas shopping easier :-)
*Lady Liberty= Sarah Palin
None of us were even close to guessing the title, huh?
Waiting for the ghost writer accusations in 5..4..3...2...1
This is awesome news!! Thanksgiving vacation and plane ride material..
I don't want to even speculate how long this book will be #1 on the best sellers list, 15 weeks, 20 weeks? I also wonder when the book tour/media blitz will start. Will the holidays have any bearing on that?
Interesting. It wasn't suppose to be finished until next Spring--either it's going to be really awesome, or it's going to be really disappointing. Wonder why she rushed on it.
I expect to get a few copies, though!
I want "Round 2" with Couric.
Well now we know why she has been such a busy bee lately. She has been writing that book, WOW 400 pages. Dang, thats A LOT to write. I am SO pumped up for this. Wanna bet Oprah tries to get her on her show. I hope Sarah tells Oprah to shove it
@Andrew
This book will be the most scrutinized book EVER. Believe me, this book will NOT be a disappointment
...Jane - Haha! Me too! Good news from the Palin camp: better than any happy pill! :-)
lakerfanalways-
LOL! Maybe she will ;)
-Jane
Very cool.
Has anyone remembered JR's TS profile avatar? ;)

@Nande
Would that be the blue happy pill or the red happy pill..Obama would prefer you take the blue pill :-)
I wonder if it would be wrong to send a copy to Peg Noonan.
Yet again Governor Palin beats conventional wisdom.
Think about all the names that were suggested, I don’t remember them all so I won’t go into it, but Going Rogue is so not what was expected.
I love the release push up, first it won’t coincide with the release of Dick Cheney or George W Bush also it means we won’t have to wait till the spring for her to start her book tour and her message gets going this year already.
Also by having the book released close to 6 months earlier shows how committed Gov. Palin is to anything she takes on herself.
Well, crap, I spoke too soon. Just read that the e-book edition won't be available until 12/26 so it won't cut into the more expensive hardcover sales.
Not to worry, though, I've got a book store across the street. I'll be at the door when they open.
Yup...I don't need drugs to get high- I only need good news from Sarah Palin!
OMGsh, I feel so hyper. And dizzy. And light-headed.
-Jane
The other great thing is that the initial scheduling had Romney's book out in March, Sarah's in April.
Believe me, if the book was going to be a disappointment, her editors would have sent her and Lynn Vincent back to the drawing board.
It's much more likely that the publishers know it is going to be the book of the year, and want it out in time for holiday giving...
Another story:
NEW YORK – That was fast.
Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate, has finished her memoir just four months after the book deal was announced, and the release date has been moved up from the spring to Nov. 17, her publisher said.
"Governor Palin has been unbelievably conscientious and hands-on at every stage, investing herself deeply and passionately in this project," Jonathan Burnham, publisher of Harper, said Sunday. "It's her words, her life, and it's all there in full and fascinating detail."
Palin's book, her first, will be 400 pages, said Burnham, who called the fall "the best possible time for a major book of this kind."
The book now has a title, one fitting for a public figure known for the unexpected — "Going Rogue: An American Life."
Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins, has commissioned a huge first printing of 1.5 million copies. Sen. Ted Kennedy's "True Compass," published by Twelve soon after his Aug. 25 death, also had a 1.5 million first printing.
As with the Kennedy book, the e-edition of Palin's memoir will not be released at the same time as the hardcover. "Going Rogue" will not be available as an e-book until Dec. 26 because "we want to maximize hardcover sales over the holidays," Harper spokeswoman Tina Andreadis said.
Publishers have been concerned that e-books, rapidly becoming more popular, might take away sales from hardcover editions, which are more expensive.
Palin, who abruptly resigned as Alaska governor over the summer with more than a year left in her first term, has been an object of fascination since Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate in 2008, chose her as his running mate, making an instant celebrity out of a once-obscure public official.
Although Democrat Barack Obama easily won the election and Palin was criticized even by some Republicans for being inexperienced, she remains a favorite among conservatives and is a rumored contender for 2012. Interest in her is so high that a fan recently paid $63,500 to have dinner with her, part of an Internet auction for a charity that aids wounded veterans.
Palin, 45, spent weeks in San Diego shortly after leaving office and worked on the manuscript with collaborator Lynn Vincent, a person close to her said. She was joined in San Diego by her family and her top aide, Meghan Stapleton, then spent several weeks in New York working around the clock with editors at Harper, said the person, who wasn't authorized to comment and asked not to be identified.
DUDE.
(That's my highest honor right there.)
I can't wait 'til it's available to pre-order.
Darn you Sarah Palin!
You made me get high! (Ok, I better stop before RAMhammer)
Sorry editors- it's a feeling that I never experienced before.
-Jane
Nancy -
if by "wrong" you mean "a good way for an annoying pseudo-columnist to learn a thing or two"...then yes, yes it would be wrong.
I wonder if President Obama's Depends, or "Oops, I Cra#*ed My Pants", pants, will have little Thanksgiving holiday turkeys festooning them.
Nancy-
LOL! Little turkeys
-Jane
She was in San Diego! No wonder she came out fighting this summer. She was relaxed after spending time in the Best Little City in America, and my former "hometown."
I hope she went shopping in La Jolla with her book advance. Maybe she took Piper to Legoland or Sea World. I just LOVE that she spent time in my favorite city :-)
Romney is gonna so pissed about her book coming in front of his so there won't be any comparisons. His minions are already bashing her at HA.
Just a thought-
She won't have to worry about money anymore really.
She can pay off her debt.
Hallujah praise the Lord!
-Jane
Becks new book 1st printing of 2 mil sold so fast another 2 mil to be printed. They better start with 5 million and be ready to run the press for a couple of months.My kid tells me she not Jo {JK Rowling}but I think at the rate conservative books sell and the INTEREST Sarah generates and 400 pages,3-4 million in the first 6 weeks is almost a guarantee.
On November 17th.
I'm "Going Rogue".
Great title for Sarah.
sarah rocks 2012
Woo Hoo!!!!
Every political event I have attended over the past 6 months (15 at last count)there have been 'Sarah' signs. There was even one at the Glenn Beck event in Mt. Vernon Wash. Saturday evening.
I'll drive/fly to the closest book signing and stand in line as long as needed to get a book!
She runs circles around the Golfer in Chief.
400 pages this Nov.
Are you joking?
That doesn't leave enough time to promote the book.
We want this book to break records.
It takes time to promote and market a book. To set-up interviews and travel around the country.
What is the rush?
The original plan was for the book to come out next spring but that was structured around the idea that Palin would still be Governor and would have limited time to write and even more limited time to work the promotional side. Once she resigned, she devoted herself to the book full time. In turn, this explains why her public profile has been so low and her only contact has been through FaceBook. Now that the book date is announced, that would mean that she has finished the manuscript and signed off on all the galleys.
Hang on to your hats, she's shifting into high gear now.
Bean Counter
Link?
That's the thing about Sarah ... she doesn't put things off. She accomplished all her goals in Alaska in basically her first year and a half in office.
And remember how Obama couldn't finish his first memoir, and was forced to give back his advance before being bailed out by another contract and his friendship with the ever-helpful domestic terrorist guy in his neighborhood?
Obama didn't even have five kids as an excuse for taking years to write his memoir.
Sarah is AMAZING!
p.s. The title will make heads explode. Of course, "rogue" has the following not so good meanings, so we can assume that Sarah doesn't mean these?????
1 : vagrant, tramp
2 : a dishonest or worthless person : scoundrel
3 : a mischievous person : scamp
4 : a horse inclined to shirk or misbehave
5 : an individual exhibiting a chance and usually inferior biological variation

@JeanA
She finished writing the book, mind as well release it now before the holidays. Mark my words(WOW I'm sounding like Joe Biden LOL) the book will be sold out the second its in pre release..and yes, 400 pages is A LOT. Obviously she had a lot to say. Look at her facebook postings, they are never just a paragraph, she writes a thesis. She is obviously a very good writer and she already said she has a lot of journals, so it was probably a lot easier for her to write then someone starting from scratch, she already had most of the stuff written down
@Recovering Democrat
When someone uses the word rogue, to me that is someone not taking crap from anyone. Not listening to what is considered mainstream, just going with your gut and not listening to the critics.
Going Rogue=Reading Alinsky and using Alinsky tactics against Alinskyites.
Recovering Democrat said...

===================================
I knew Ayers helped him write the book, but I didn't know Obama had to return his advance.
Going Rogue=Making Joey Biden's mom not believe him, when he says "death panels" are a bunch of malarkey.
So wehere do we order it?
Can we get an autographed copy?
She was in San Diego!!! Whaaaaaaattt!!! I live here! I would have done anything to see her! Man, in California you don't get too much attention from national GOP figures like Palin because its a given the state goes blue. My God! I will say that she couldn't have picked a better place than San Diego as a base to write her memoirs!
Going Rogue=Making a sitting president use the words "all wee-weed up."
I have a funny feeling 1.5 million copies will not be nearly enough and that there might be a reprint prior to the New Year. Wonder if there will be a New York Times Bestseller review? I don't know how many copies the Obama book has sold but I just say a copy in the bargain bin at the book store. It would kill Obama if she outsold both of his memoirs in six months.
I always buy myself a special birthday present because my birthday is less than a week before Christmas and all my life I tended to get one gift with a card "Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas". So this year's gift is a no-brainer.
I'd be willing to bet that the posts on this blog could slow down considerably for at least a couple of days after Nov. 17th as we all read her book. Next year, we'll have endless quotes from Sarah to strengthen our blog posts.
Fantastic news. I only hope her book tour brings her within a couple hundred miles so I can get an autographed copy.
Thanks Bean Counter
Hey that book by Scott Conroy and Shushannah Walshe (is due to be released on Nov 3rd.
I guess the Guv's book will pretty much overshadow that.
Already linked on Drudge
We all need to pre order either online or at your local bookstore,this will push up to #1 even before it is released.If you don't order you won't have it for Christmas.
Thanks for the updates!
Does anyone know if this is true or not??? I have been told that books that are purchased at Costo and/or Sam's Club do not count towards the number to be on NY Times best seller list???
Do you think she will publish an agenda where there will be book signings???
I am so excited. The title is super...it is in "their" face. I love it.
I plan on pre-ordering the book, and multiple copies--one for several family members.
Good thing they're pushing back the ebooks version until later, so it doesn't interfere with the sales number.
I would be willing to bet that Gov Palin did not use Bill Ayers or anyone else to write this.
That Ben Smith idiot will even get more conceited at this.
kjanlady,
Yes, I think people are going to be blown away by how well this book is going to sell!
Wanna take bets on how the left is going to attack the book.
1 - Who wrote it.
2 - Her grammar and word usage.
3 - Fact checking her.
4 - 'She plagiarized'
5 - ?
6 -?
Not to be out-done Joe Biden announced today that HIS biography is also to be released on Nov 17th.
"Going Roguefort: My Pungent Rise In Politics" by Joe Biden.
The Publisher will be The Dover High School Tribune...with a initial release of 2 books.
My birthday is Nov. 24...I will have to warn my girls that I am buying it myself or I might get two copies. They know that I would want the book.
She disappeared off the media radar screen over the last months, except for her facebook postings, and now she'll be back with a vengeance.
Also, many of her media appearances will be news worthy in their own regard, for instance, when she appears on Letterman to plug her book, that booking will be a media firestorm. Same with her appearance on Oprah. All of these "controversial" media bookings will drive audience numbers through the roof and subsequently book sales will take off even higher.
The ultimate goal for her shouldn't be to punish Letterman and Oprah but to make her book a success (an obligation she owes to her publisher) and to get her story out to more people. It doesn't matter if Letterman and Oprah benefit so long as people get to hear her story and read her accounts of events, which I predict, will ultimately put media bias against her on the firing line.
What's the rush? Getting this book out early frees her up for her second book. I have no doubt that she will put her common sense conservative platform in writing for a spring publish date so that it cannot be distorted by the media.
I hope that Gov Palin has a copy of her book made available in braille. My guess is that if she thinks about that she will.
OK, gotta get my zippity-doo-dah in here, too, before the thread has about a gazillion comments.
(Memo to self: need to refresh the screen more frequently, or you miss out on stuff!)
God love her. Can't wait to get a copy.
"Isn't she lovely...isn't she wonderful!"
KentonAK,
That was funny!!!
Can't you just see what is happening now...All the programs, radio and tv, newspapers, magazines...etc. are getting their invites in. They are probably going crazy. Good timing.
She will probably be traveling in the lower 48 most of the winter.
Re: Jane Awesome's idea @5:54,
Hey BBabes, I'll volunteer to dress up as Todd!
(Hehehe)
Harper Collins website still has it untitled and expected 3/31/2010 but it looks like there is going to be an audio version hope Sarah Reads the audio version.
http://www.harpercollins.com/search/index.aspx?kw=sarah%20palin
Alexonian,
I would be absolutely shocked if she appeared on either Letterman or Oprah. She doesn't need them anymore than Michelle Malkin or Mark Levin needed them. Or for that matter Michael Savage and Glenn Beck. She is bigger than all of these best sellers. She will be fine promoting this book by going around the country, meeting the folks and signing books and appearing on FOX and talk radio.
Is it too early to call in sick for Nov 17? Oh I work for myself.You are fired!
Great stuff! They better print copies for us folk in Britain!
Common Sense Conservatism 2012!
For those unaware Vincent is a major contributor of material to World Magazine

This title is perfect on many levels.
She is basically taking one of the lame smear phrases used by the MSM during the election.
Not only that, but in a few months when they are talking about the record breaking sales they will have to use the phrase "going rouge" all over again. But at that time they will be using it to promote the book that liberates Palin.
The gloves have been off since she resigned, this is going to be good!
Alexonian: I disagree. Sarah will sell enough without the msm. they are out to destroy her. Let them eat cake and watch her sales soar.
Levin has sold over a million with nothing except for Hannity.
Sarah should easily double that.
Re: book tour
I'm on record a couple times, starting months ago:
They'll need to book stadiums...
with giant flat panels out in the parking lots for the overflow crowds.
WOW 400 pages...
Most looking forward to her talking about the vp run.
I'm hoping it's a "tell all", but then Sarah is not like that. lol.
Most important though is that the book is done, YEA.
Now let's get down to the important stuff like those book signings, public apperances and MOST important, those PALIN RALLYS.
LET THE FUN BEGIN!! :-)
going rogue is what President Obama will be doing on Nov. 17th. Tthhaaaaaaattt sounds painful!
Does anyone wonder if she purposefully wants to do this near the 1 year mark since the last election?
I imagine on Nov. 4 there will be a lot of obnoxious news stories about "how history was made" one year ago... and how Palin messed it up for McCain. They will use it as another excuse to smear Palin, and then BAM a week and a half later she is the only thing anyone is talking about.
I love the title. We need someone to go rogue and fix this mess! She can change the GOP and then clean up Obama's mess.
The story from here is up on Hot Air and already has 93 comments almost as many as are here.
Love the title. Fitting for these times.
Good job, Mrs. Palin.
If somebody has the chance to get their book signed in person by her, can you tell them that Jane Austen is a very, very passionate/young supporter and can't make it but could you (Sarah) do a shout-out anyways?
Thanks :)
-Jane
From Allahpundit.
I’m intrigued by the title, not only because it promises dish about the sniping from McCain staffers but because it hints, perhaps, at her positioning herself as the libertarian alternative to “orthodox” Republicans like Mitt and Huck. Meanwhile, Politico claims that “[c]opy-editing and fact-checking are now underway in a race to meet the crash publishing schedule,” a detail bound to intoxicate liberals eager to find, flag, catalogue and crow about every last typo. Exit question: Which avid audience will buy more copies, the Palin-lovers or the Palin-haters?

"Going Rogue"
sarah rocks 2012
You know this is a brilliant move.
Gov. Palin's book will be out before all those hateful books are released and nobody will buy any of those books.
The AllahPundit story has only been up 20 minutes and already it has 100 comments.
I will buy two books.
One to frame and hang on the wall and the other one to pass around after sales die down.
Steven and Panchita,
1.) Her bookings on those shows will be a media circus. We might as well add in interviews with Gibson and Couric.
2.) Such appearances will put her before audiences that are not her natural constituents. These audiences believe the media generated hype. If she tells her tale without the media filter in place, she will neutralize many naysayers.
3.) When she, as I predict, handles herself well with Oprah and Letterman, and puts them in their place, then her critics' views of her as a lightweight blow up.
4.) The goal is to sell books, which a.) puts money in her pocket, b.) fulfills her obligation to her publishers, c.) gets her message out to non-fans, and d.) changes people's minds about her. Holding a grudge against Letterman and Oprah doesn't serve any purpose for her.

Holy Moly! That is exciting news. I absolutely love the title. I'm actually not surprised that the release date got moved up, though I'm really impressed that it will be ready by November. I wonder if some bookstores could be convinced to have midnight release parties. I'm way excited.
With the book coming out now and all the book signings in the weeks after, this gets it out of the way by early next year.
That way she can concentrate on the 2010 elections and campaigning for candidates in Congress - and making other speeches and appearances.
No link from drudge to this blog? C'mon
Guess we will see a lot of Sarah-starting next months.I can already see libs scratching their stupid heads,saying -O!! What did she mean by this,what did she mean by that? Taking whatever she wrote,scrutinizing ,analizing,tearing apart.
Awesome title.
Woo Hoo!!! The title is a statement. Sarah is not only our leader but also our Champion.

Agreed. Have any of you seen the movie "Team America, World Police"? I'm singing the theme song right now while thinking of Sarah.
Awesome title as her independent sounding title is a classy slap to the conservative elite and hateful left wing. I predict her book will be the highest selling nonfiction this year. Go Sarah!
Now I want to know how in the h*ll did Sarah live "for weeks" in San Diego and for "several days" in New York City and no one recognized her???????
Was she held up in the hotel rooms?Didn't she even go get a cup of coffee????
Weird! :-)
Really good news and I can't wait to read it!
kjanlady--I had the same thought about the NYTimes review--they do shun conservatives.
Yes, they will attempt to minimize her input as the author as they did with the Hong Kong speech. Why do they forget she was a journalism major...or do they? Give her a deadline and get out of the way. I think this will have outstanding sales with or without the tour.
CharterO--thanks for the additional Bible references. God Bless!
Jane Austen--checked out your new friend's site and gave it a thumbs up! Youth power unite!
Don't generally watch Glen Beck but did so today at Leslie's recommendation (definitely should be nominated for BB)and the comment was made that "women seem to be getting the big picture better than the men." I think there's a lot of truth in that.
As for "rogue" definitions, no doubt in my mind that Sarah has a "rouguish wink" that befits an impish and playful facet to her diamond!
@rae
hahahahhaha. I have not seen the entire movie, but I know the song you are talking about! I actually have it in my iTunes, i might just have to listen to it now.
I get this this image of a rogue mama grizzly tearing up DC.
And fighting tooth-and-claw for America!
Excellent title,Sarah!
Hmmm---looks like somebody cleaned up after HankTheQuiter, so9 my comment doesn't make much sense.
Obama's next book:
Being Rogued: A Wee-Weed Up Life
YES!!! What terrific news!
"Going Rogue:" we Palinistas will make sure it needs at least TWO printings BEFORE Christmas, won't we? I plan to order MANY copies to give as gifts----and a signed one just for ME-EE!!!!!
;->
You know what ELSE!?
(And this is The Best!)
The MSM and liberals are going to be SHOCKED as HECK to discover that Governor Sarah Palin's book will be JUST MAGNIFICENT! They will be blown away by her good sense, solid scholarship, and heart-warming decency.
Won't it be FUN, to witness their about-face and the blossoming of REAL RESPECT for her!?
And she maintained her lovely good character through all the S-H-You-Know-What they threw her during the campaign, too.
She is going to make SUCH a terrific PRESIDENT!
Let the fresh air of democracy BEGIN!
If anyone can think of anything
other then Sarah, book sales.

Money, fame or wealth don't entice Sarah. She doesn't need to write a book to make money,but she does need to write a book in order to be president.
Sarah doesn't need the squirrely msm. For once in our lifetime, they need her.
Great day today.
I expect palin's numbers to hit around 56% approval after her book tour.
No way ,she is going on Letterman.
Panchita,
Alexonian: mccain has appeared on lettermans show inumberable times and dave continues to mock and ridicule him. Orca dissed Sarah during the primaries and her memory is long.
Money, fame or wealth don't entice Sarah. She doesn't need to write a book to make money,but she does need to write a book in order to be president.
Sarah doesn't need the squirrely msm. For once in our lifetime, they need her.
The point of the appearance isn't to make Dave or Oprah a fan. Not at all. The point is for her to walk into a hostile camp, fight fire with fire and win, and present her case, her life story, to the audience. Dave and Oprah bookings become news because they are both irrational partisan twits and Sarah shows that they don't frighten her, and in fact, she has a good chance of putting them in their place by besting them on their own turf.
Going Rogue=The Palin Way to Make Liberal's Heads Explode
Cripes...I am one of those folks in the world that absolutely HATES reading books...Absolutley HATE IT!
Damn It.. Now I am going to have to fork over some money to buy a book!
Thanks Sarah...Thanks alot...
Eddie Burke is on Sarah Palin radio...hope someone is recording!
Wow palin has her book coming out around the healthcare vote.
Nov. will be obama's waterloo
republicans win both GOV races
Healthcare gets killed and palin book comes out right at the same time.
Good timing Gov
(as usual)
Obama just wet his mom jeans.
Wait! I don't want to buy it from Amazon. I want to stand on the cold, barren streets of NYC at 4:30am in a mile long line leading up to Barnes & Noble, where I can shake Sarah's hand and get an autographed copy from the great lady herself. Let there be book signings!
It's gonna take a couple of days to get the SMILE off of my face!
SARAH PALIN 2012
im guessing there is an almost unprecedented amount of "wee weeing" going on at 600 Pennsylvania Ave this evening :)
1600*
Anyone know when Sarah's book is going to be released in Australia?
LTCOL OldDude,
You are welcome. So you saw Leslie on Beck? Cool.
-----------
Back on topic,
Alerted my public library to the release, asked them to order copies, reserve one for me (Plan B).
They have already responded affirmatively and thanked me for the alert.
That's another way to pump up sales, Barbarians,
and help to get Sarah's book into more living rooms across America.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll be sending 2 to Melbourne the same day I pick up my 1/2 dozen.
ellen 600 ide probably closer after Obama has devalued the place.
Barauk Insane obama issued this statement regarding Sarah's Nov 17th book release:
"Let me clear:
Pampers are MUCH more absorbent than Depends.
I will order my staff to stock up on extra Pampers on Nov 17th."
"And Michelle will NOT be burping me.
(That's what Rahm is for)"
SA-RAH !! SA-RAH !! SA-RAH !! Coming to a bookstore near you the POWER of Sarah .. I can't wait :)
Letterman is not nearly as smart as he thinks he is. I watched O'Reilly hand him his lunch and Palin can do the same, if she wants.
But I'll bet she won't. She'll do most of the shows, maybe even 'The View' but she won't dignify Letterman's crap.
I personally do not think Sarah will go on any of the trash for clunkers msm shows. She does not need them. Whatever she decides will be the right move for her. She has proven this time and time again. I believed her when she said trust me!
Img @7:13 PM,
Except those NYC streets won't be barren in that case, now will they?
: )
Wowzers!
I wish I had said:
ellen: 600 is robably closer, since Obama has devalued the place.
The thing to remember--mkuch as it would be fun to show up David Loserman or the Orca, they get the last cut at the edits.
If she wants to buy some air time and invite them, I could see some value.
Probably not enough to buy the airtime, ....
Joe Biden: My Jobs as the Vice President

Joe Biden: The 5th International Incident
Joe Biden: The Katie's Diner View Vice Presidency
From Mike Allen...Politico
"Palin mischievously embraced the phrase “going rogue” at the end of her troubled campaign for vice president on the ticket headed by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). The phrase has its roots in an Oct. 20 story by Slate's John Dickerson, with the lead: "Has Sarah Palin 'gone rogue'?"
sarah rocks 2012

manajordan,
Remeber the Palin Crowds during the election? You would think that Haper Collins would want to have "Midnight Parties" for the book!!
I would hope that maybe Christians could contact Christian Bookstores ASAP to have "Midnight Parties" for the book which will be published by Zondervan which is Harper's Christian imprint.
I beleive the Christian Bookstore sales are in the overall count, as oppesed to Sams Club/Costco.
You would think you could Have a couple of Midnight Parties in TEXAS!!
If thier is a "Midnight Party" in the People's Republic of Minnesota, I will be there!! :-)
The LA Times has a piece on the book too.

I like your thinking. Maybe if we drum up enough support we can make it happen. At the very least we should have a virtual release party here at C4P :)
Barauk Insane obama's next novel:

andrew, i understand the frustration, but im not too much a fan of the word "libtards".
liberals are so easy to make fun of, no use resorting to petty and possible offensive names
President Obama's book: Shrinkage
I wish Todd would do a book or Sarah and Todd would do one together.
I think it would be a best seller too.
Now we need to guess and wonder what the jacket cover will be.
Allahpundit had a good time making fun of us dedicated C4Per's on Hot Air. Way to increase your readership, dumba**.
I'm hoping she'll do a book signing in my area on Northern Virginia. I don't think the media will be prepared for how many books she'll sell.
juju,
This probably won't be the jacket cover, but the picture of her in New York City, with her head titled down, eyes up. Hillbuzz uses it whenever she does something that wee-wees up the White House. It's a look that says: Do Not Even Try It.
The Barbarian Babes Readers Society
begins Nov 17th!
TOTUS's second book:
"I escaped simply by falling over"
Gov. Palin does NOT need to go on shows like letterman or the view to promote her book.
I think book signing will give her enough publicity. The size of the crowds will be enough publicity that the media will have to cover. Book signing are more her style.
We are excited about todays announcement, but I am surprised no one has talked about what picture will be on the cover??
Michelle: I've got my arms toned...Now if I could just get my BIG a** in shape.
Barack: If the right could just see me as I see myself...they'ed love me too.
Bo: How I survived in the WH on an arugula diet.
Malia: When your daddy doesn't even know your name.
Great title! I hope that she just does interviews with friendly shows, or at least with people that have been fair to her, like Blitzer. I look for her to spend some time with local media as well.
50 days until Nov 17. Can't wait.
Can't wait to read this.
Very smart...moving it up for Christmas.
Oh my god get ready because Sarah is about to be evvverywhere soon haha.
The timing is quite good too. Imagine if health care reform fails and her book comes out soon after...wow lol just wow.
Sweet.
Read-it-and-weep GOP, you're in for a whoopin!
As for the title?
It sounds like a publisher's pick chosen to pique the interest of friend and foe alike. To be honest, I expected something with a bit more Cuda'tude (and not McCain campaign related) but like WISETROG said, at least it isn't sappy. That would have been bad.
Title grade: B-
That said,
If there was any doubt about which direction her leadership compass was taking her, this title appears to settle it.
BEHOLD! The political hybrid known as the conservatarian reformer.
Book content grade:
A to infinity...and beyond!
Great news about the book ...
On a unrelated note, and take it for what it's worth, but on intrade there was big movement today towards Sarah being the Republican Nominee.
She is now firmly the second choice behind Romney.
I dont want to try to make it out to be a big deal, and personally I dont put alot of stock in the intrade prediction market, but still I thought I would mention it anyways, since good news, no matter how big or small, is better than bad news.
lol@Kenton
First interview: I'd go with.....Bret Baier.
Although he never does interviews does he? :(
You?
Reposting my comment, with a word change:
Liberals at DU are already saying it's ghost-written...
Pointing to this quote from the article: "Governor Palin has been unbelievably conscientious and hands-on at every stage..."
Idiots.
kjanlady
That is all so true!
for those that need a Sarah Palin fix, check out the "brain-friendly" format of the RNC Convention speech at http://www.info-scroll/c4p, scroll to 3rd link.
- listening to entire speech: ~45 min
- reading text only version: boring
- reading brain-friendly format in ~5-10 min: priceless
Maverick.. if she decides to run...
I would NOT want to see her as a front runner anyway..Second is good..
Historically front runners get tossed aside like a bad penny! Especially GOP front runners.
As for the cover. Brian Adams (the photographer of her TIME/RENEGADE pic) had some out takes that were priceless.
Except those NYC streets won't be barren in that case, now will they?
: )
I thought I had a brain around here someplace. Now where did I put it?-)
So there should be a telephone press conference tomorrow with the publisher.
They'll formally announce this news tomorrow.
I am going to guess that it will be a picture that we have never seen. Her good friend is a professional photographer, so I am sure it will be a great picture.
I think her first interview will be with Hannity. If I’m not mistaken she set down first with Hannity after she was picked for VP. Hannity was also the only interview when she was in New York. Hannity is good for the first interviews as he does more conversation style walkabouts rather than a sit down interview its a relaxing way to break into the interview circuit.
OH MY GOD!
I just got back from my son's football practice and I log in to read this wonderful news! 4 months? Sarah is just amazing and the title absolutely rocks!
OK I say thurs nite next FB post.Bo will be winging to Denmark and the troops in Afghanistan will be waiting for an answer. Timing.
Obama's favorite Beatles songs:
"I Me Mine"
"Help!"
"I'm A Loser"
Awesome news!
