Sarah Palin Going Rogue: An American Life
Posted on November 26th, 2009 in Cheap BestSeller Books, Sarah Palin | No Comments »
On September 3, 2008 Alaska Governor Sarah Palin gave a speech at the Republican National Convention that electrified the nation and instantly made her one of the most recognizable women in the world.
As chief executive of America′s largest state, she had built a record as a reformer who cast aside politics-as-usual and pushed through changes other politicians only talked about: Energy independence. Ethics reform. And the biggest private sector infrastructure project in U.S. history. While revitalizing public school funding and ensuring the state met its responsibilities to seniors and Alaska Native populations, Palin also beat the political “good ol′ boys club” at their own game and brought Big Oil to heel.
Like her GOP running mate, John McCain, Palin wasn′t a packaged and over-produced “candidate.” She was a Main Street American woman: a working mom, wife of a blue collar union man, and mother of five children, the eldest of whom was serving his country in a yearlong deployment in Iraq and the youngest, an infant with special needs. Palin′s hometown story touched a populist nerve, rallying hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans to the GOP ticket.
But as the campaign unfolded, Palin became a lightning rod for both praise and criticism. Supporters called her “refreshing,” “honest,” a kitchen-table public servant they felt would fight for their interests. Opponents derided her as a wide-eyed Pollyanna unprepared for national leadership. But none of them knew the real Sarah Palin.
In this eagerly anticipated memoir, Palin paints an intimate portrait of growing up in the wilds of Alaska; meeting her lifelong love; her decision to enter politics; the importance of faith and family; and the unique joys and trials of life as a high-profile working mother. She also opens up for the first time about the 2008 presidential race, providing a rare, mom′s-eye view of high-stakes national politics – from patriots dedicated to “Country First” to slick politicos bent on winning at any cost.
Going Rogue traces one ordinary citizen′s extraordinary journey, and imparts Palin′s vision of a way forward for America and her unfailing hope in the greatest nation on earth.

Will it air before or after "Eddie Griffin: Going for Broke"? Or would it be better over on the "Bravo" network: "Sarah Palin: My Life on the F-List"?
Best Answer I predict a ratings disaster. Even Glen Becks sponsors will abandon ship.
If you remember going up you were told not to be a rebel, not to be a trouble maker, not to make your yourself look bad, Not TO BE A ROGUE. Learn ho to get along in society without causing any problems for yourself or anyone else. As an adult you are told not to stir the pot, act like an adult, NOT TO BE A ROGUE. When did being ROGUE or GOING ROGUE become acceptable? Isn't being rogue Going Rogue the last thing we want to encourage?
Best Answer Rogue is just this year's maverick. She's as much a rogue as McCain was a maverick in last year's election...that is to say, not one. Apparently, for Palin, going rogue means bucking the "received wisdom" that you should be of at least average intelligence to run for office. She's got all of the intelligence and charm of a junkyard rat...survival is her only focus and she'll say and do whatever it takes to pander to her constituency.
