n-4. A vicious and solitary animal, especially an elephant that has separated itself from its herd.
adj-3, Operating outside normal or desirable controls: “How could a single rogue trader bring down an otherwise profitable and well-regarded institution?” (Saul Hansell).

Well, n-4. Kodiak Bear. Separated from the RINO pack. nuff said

adj-3. Certainly suits her "outsider" creds. And the GOP can't seem to control her which explains their dislike of her.

Look at definitions of “rogue” used as an adjective, not a noun:

“Vicious and solitary. Used of an animal, especially an elephant.”

“Large, destructive, and anomalous or unpredictable: a rogue wave; a rogue tornado.”

“Operating outside normal or desirable controls.”

Try the Miriam Webster dictionary:

3 : a mischievous person : scamp

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rogue

In Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Luke Skywalker was a member of Rogue Squadron.

She’s a rebel. The Emperor’s agents in Episode 5 called them “Rebel scum.”

I’m sure Emperor Obamatine I is of the same opinion.

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.
