Yeah, I’m just afraid she already has too much of that reputation. Same reason I wanted policy rather than personal story. Oh well, nobody’s hiring me for political advice—and I’m glad she’s getting out there again sooner rather than later. That’s the best news to me.

I suspect the early release of her personal story means the "vision" book will be next, like in the spring. Just a hunch.

rather than personal story

perhaps, by getting her personal story out there ahead of time - without all the twists others would write - she'll end run the spinners.

Plenty of time for policy. I trust her for knowing what and when.

Plus, it's a powerful plus for people to know more about her as a person, and feel more connected.

I’d wager that this book was rushed because she’s working on a second book for spring publication that will lay out her vision for America. She’ll want her plan for common sense conservatism in print, again working around the media.

If it was solid policy, the question would be "Who wrote it for her?". Her strength is that she can tie her conservative beliefs with who she is.
