Is Palin Selling Books or Settling Scores?
"Going Rogue" Criticizes McCain Campaign and Aides, but Some Are Hitting Back; Country Remains Divided on Former VP Candidate
(CBS) Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is coming out Tuesday with her account of the 2008 presidential campaign.
And her book, "Going Rogue," is putting her at odds - again - with former officials of the McCain campaign, as CBS News senior political correspondent Jeff Greenfield reports.
From an appearance Oprah Monday, to Barbara Walters Tuesday, to a three-week long blitz starting with a bus tour through much of middle America, Palin is in full-fledged campaign mode. This time the goal is not to win votes, but to sell books. A million-and-a-half them are now in print. But based on what she's written, she may be selling books while settling scores.
Again and again, Sen. John McCain's one-time running mate takes direct aim at the people at the top of McCain's campaign, including campaign chief Steve Schmidt and senior adviser Nicole Wallace.
She charges they micro-managed her; wouldn't let her talk to the press; lulled her into a damaging series of interviews with Katie Couric

It would be useful to know who are on her crosshair. One of the surest way to spot enemies inside and outside our ranks.
“Country remains divided”? It’s supposed to be news that some moonbats don’t like conservatives?
Odd they didn’t run stories like this when Al Gore was peddling “An Inconvenient Truth”.
both?
Sarah is multi-tasking. lol
Poor media, they have boo boos because the TRUTH is coming out about them. Good for Sarah, I would have gone further. The LAMEstream media has ZERO credibility. The media died, except it died way before 2008
For me, the quickest way for a candidate to get on my black list is to hire an ex-McCain staffer.
I find out some of these McCain folks are working for candidate “x”, he’s history as far as I’m concerned.
Go Sarah, stick it to the lousy creeps. Your word is gold, theirs is crap, case closed.
Getting enough scratch together to pay off legal bills brought on by leftist pinheads? I'm donating.
She’s selling books - quite a lot of them, actually. But settling scores? No, nothing is settled. This is an opening salvo.
Why not just donate to her legal defense fund?
What is funny is that they think they can continue to get away with this obvious bias. Their bias brought the anti-christ to power and now we’re feeling the effects of their precious and they are STILL obsessed with these ridiculous attacks on Palin. Palin is responding and they are just beside themselves because a lot of people will be waking up to what she has faced and the obvious nature of the media which Palin is not afraid to take on.
re: is putting her at odds - again - with former officials of the McCain campaign
After the disaster of the campaign they mounted I’m surprised they have the guts to show their face in public. Of course they didn’t have much in the way of seed corn to start with, but I think I could have done a better job of running his campaign.
I agree with the earlier poster who said any candidate that hires any of them is off my list right then and there. They are refugees as far as I’m concerned.
Seems to me that there wouldn’t be a score needing settling in the first place if it weren’t for the media and RINOs.
I was thinking about it - while she was a gubmint official. Now, I'm buying the book and spending most of a day waiting to get her autograph. She'll soon have millions which should be plenty enough to beat back the frivolous lawsuits. (I personally think she quit the Alaska gig just to save her family and fortune. Good on her!)
Any other FReepers buying Sarah Palin's book, 'Going Rogue' & waiting in line for a signature?
I would say neither...I look at it as cock roach hunting...Thank God Palin is a hunter...she has steel where most politicians have spaghetti.

Yep. For me Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace are pure poison in the future. Any candidate that hires them tells me all I need to know about the candidate’s ethics.
And as for Sarah firing back, I’d rather see her defend herself in an assertive and straightforward manner, than whatever it is that Obama does....(like delegate to subordinates)...

“Their bias brought the anti-christ to power and now we’re feeling the effects......”
Just wanted to say that referring to HIM as the anti-christ is not much of a stretch at all. I will attempt to attach a link to a video which reveals who Obummer REALLY is, if it hasn’t been pulled.

I hope it works. In the video, BHO brags about his Muslim faith.......to a Muslim audience.
