Going Rogue: An American Life - on shelves Nov. 17th.

Yep, Sarah's book is finally done, about to go to the printers and coming to a bookstore near you!

Per AP/Yahoo
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 titled Going Rogue: An American Life.

A huge first printing of 1.5 million copies has been commissioned by Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins.
Keep your eyes open for it, I have a feeling there will be a few more prints coming about.

Andrew Malcolm:
"Many in the mainstream media will also be eager to see how the Republican hockey mom praises them for their objective portrayals of her all last fall."
Allahpundit:
"Which avid audience will buy more copies, the Palin-lovers or the Palin-haters?"
Pamela Geller:
"I cannot wait.... watch the left grand mal seize. I love this!"
YankMcCain.com:
"It might be nice to read the thoughts of the person doing all the heavy lifting on the Republican side back then."

'The title is… wait a second, we’re just getting our cyanide pill ready here, for when the post is over, because that’s what we’re going to do, take a cyanide pill…' 
Well don't let us stop you.
Mike Allen:
The phrase has its roots in an Oct. 20 story by Slate's John Dickerson, with the lead: "Has Sarah Palin 'gone rogue'?"
A little Star Wars trivia...

In Episode IV: A New Hope, as a pilot in the rebel forces, Luke Skywalker flew with "Red Squadron." By Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, that X-wing group had become known as "Rogue Squadron." In the Star Wars "extended universe" Rogue Squadron is prominently featured in a graphic novel series, a nine-volume paperback novel series, and several video games. The unit is depicted as consisting of "the best pilots and the best fighters."

Sarah Palin is a rebel and the best fighter against the Obamanation.

  2. I'll order it as soon as it opens for pre-release orders. You can bet that Axelrod, 0bama, Romney, Huckabee, Pawlenty, and a host of other potential rivals will be among the first to read it. Those who hate Palin will read it looking for stuff to justify their hatred, those who like her will read it, trying to find reasons to like her more, and those who really love her will buy multiple copies to give as Christmas gifts. The 1.5 million copies will be gone before Christmas.
