Going Rouge

[Winnie]

I have no interest in either, either. I'd be interested in the demographic of purchasers, however.

I'd love to read it! I will as soon as I can borrow a copy.

I learned much about President Obama (then candidate) from reading two of his books, particularly The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream. Author's reveal their essence with writing. It's fascinating to me. I like to better understand people who generate so much passion in others.

She didn't write it though--she had a ghost writer.

This is a good point, except that Palin had a definite short term agenda and help from a ghost writer whose confidentiality agreement prevents her from saying how much Palin actually wrote.

I believe many famous people use help to write their books. I expect that since Ms. Palin is the "story teller" and she certainly reviewed the work at the very least, it will be revealing. It is her story.

Good point, Winnie! I never did think or think today that there is absolutely anything audacious about hope or that the American Dream has dissipated. I listened to his radio interview from the early 2000's (Chicago Public Station?) and that helped me in my decision for last year's election. Redistribution of Wealth abates the American Dream and is quite audacious. This, I find ironic.

I am impressed that Going Rogue was hammered out in four months.......but, suspect? And, the rebuttal from the left? Suspect.

Admittedly, I have judged the respective books by their covers.

NO, that doesn't and hasn't ever entered my mind being a woman who spent over 30 years in a military uniform and civilian clothes working for Deparatment of Defense.

She has a needy child that needs her. She made her choice, spoke about it, and flaunted it around the country. And she does not believe in other women's choices.....that's hypocritical.

You see flaunted, I see a someone trying to inspire women to make a better choice than the vacume cleaner.

So did Obama, for both his multi-million dollar books. What's your point?

Sorry, I don't think you caught what I was saying. I don't think women should stay at home, I did not. I believe in women getting out of the house and doing the things they want to do. I did. My mother did and that was in 1963. She opened her own business and surprised her father and husband. They both stood behind her. That is where we need to go with familiy members backing their loved ones regardless of sex.

I thought she handled herself extremely well on Oprah. I am afraid of her. Or more specifically- I am afraid of the masses of folks who believe she should be POTUS...

I missed Palin on Oprah! gotta find it online. I am not afraid of Palin... but I am very afraid of Palin supporters.

I think she did as well......with Barbra Walters, too. I don't think her year is 2012. Much later down the road.

I am excited about a female President, however!

I will be excited about a female President when a woman gets elected due to her extraordinary leadership ability and competency. and there are women out there who are more than capable. I can speak with certainty that Palin is not one of them. not because of her policies. but because of her campaign tactics, mistakes, drama, etc. Lake View Too said it best just a few posts above (and this was stated about as politely as it possibly could be.. and perhaps a tad understated. but only my opinion of course..):

Honestly, Sarah Palin lowers national politics to the level of a reality show: "Who Wants To Be Vice President?" Another person, a lot like Paris Hilton, who is famous simply because she's a celebrity.

thank you for such a great post Winnie.

Andy A - whatcha doing starting up that whining about Local Liberals again? I know about a dozen republicans and have heard of countless republicans and independents who dropped McCain like a hot potato the minute he announced his VP pick. Palin's controversey is based on her personality much more than her policy (which she could barely articulate).

This is akin to saying, so Palin didn't give birth to Trig. What's your point?
