Oh my: Palin “Going Rogue” on November 17th
Hot Air ^ | SEPTEMBER 27, 2009 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 09/28/2009 4:19:27 PM PDT by RobinMasters

Via C4P, the draft was finished a few months early so they’re moving up the spring release date. I was going to make a joke about knowing what grassroots conservatives want to find under the tree this year, but come on. Waiting six weeks until Christmas? Some of you guys will be lined up outside the bookstore a week before it drops.

Pity poor Olbermann, forced to talk about Sarahcuda tonight instead of, say, the New York City terror plot. Again.

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.”

I’ll certainly get it, but I wonder about the title. It seems a tad on the harsh side. Doesn’t rogue usually have negative connotations? I’d think she would be better off with a more positive-sounding title.

If I’m not mistaken, I believe the title refers to the campaign where someone in the McCain camp and/or MSM (same difference with respect to SP) said that SP was going rogue when she was attacking 0bama.

” Palin basher too? “

Nope, just sayin`. GOP is the party of ‘ Hey we love big un-Constitutional government too but we think we can be more fiscally responsible that the democrats so vote for us’.

To me, going rogue means that someone isn’t gonna take crap from anyone. She was called “rogue” during the campaign because she no longer listened to them(The entire campaign was a train wreck) she wanted no part of it, and decided to do things her way, I like it.

She doesn’t stand a chance advancing the conservative cause so long as she remains in the Republicrat party.

Ok.

The GOP is great. They loved those tea party protesters and the idea of original intent/sarc off.

I remember that. I just think there was probably a more upbeat sounding title out there. But, Harper Collins and News Corp have way more experience in publishing than I do and know a whole lot more about it so if they’re ok with it, I’ll go with them. I doubt she forced the title on them or anything.

FYI... if you happened to miss the election last year...

GOP == DOA already

and their actions after the elections, where they would not stand up to defend Sarah and her family from being savaged in the press, was just shameful.

cowardly scumbags. does it get any worse? (i mean, besides being liberal)

I thought going rogue meant something like “off the reservation”

I think it might’ve been used in the context of Jack Bauer and 24. http://www.overthinkingit.com/2009/03/18/when-is-a-rogue-not-a-rogue-when-hes-jack-bauer/

Being a maverick.

There could only be a third party if we had a two party system. The OP has incrementally moved towards socialism over the years to expand the voter base thereby merging with the RATs and forming one big socialist Republicrat party. A party based on strong Conservative principles will restore the two party system.

Here’s where “going rogue” comes from; backstabbing by the McLame camp. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/25/palin.tension/index.html

Like it says in the article, its her book, her life, her words. I think Sarah knows this book will be the most scrutinized book EVER in the history of books so she knows the deal. 400 pages is A LOT to have written in such a short time, but since she keeps journals, she probably had half the book done already, just had to add some extra parts. It’s gonna be a great book.

Since no one is using the Republican party maybe the old losers occupying the space won’t mind if we take it from them for some practical use.

Precisely. But, CNN was speculating the other day that Hilary will run and probably win after 0’s second term.
