Before Sarah Palin's highly-anticipated book, "Going Rogue," goes on sale this week, it has already generated controversy, skepticism and blowback.
In portions that have been leaked in advance, and in interviews Palin has given in advance of the book's debut Tuesday, the former Alaska governor criticized senior aides to her 2008 running mate John McCain, which prompted retaliation from McCain's campaign staff — some speaking on the record, some anonymously.
Of Palin's book, Steven Schmidt, McCain's chief strategist, told CBS News, "It's fiction, and it's not true."
"This is Sarah Palin's turn to get even, as it were," said CBS News chief Washington correspondent and host of "Face the Nation" Bob Schieffer.
"She came under this intense criticism all during the campaign and now she's giving her version of why she didn't succeed as a candidate."
But Schieffer, speaking on "The Early Show" Monday, said he does not think her strategy will work. "It's kind of like a baseball player going into a slump and blaming the manager or blaming the bat boy or blaming the fans or something. You know, it makes for provocative reading, I think she'll sell a lot of books, but I don't think it's going to help re-establish her as a political candidate.

Hide & Watch Bob!
They fear her.
Have another cookie Bobby and try to stay in your seat.
He’s a Bob.
He’s a newshole.
He’s a Baghdad Bob.
OMG - Did you see him on this morning stating this? What an arse.... He was almost foaming at the mouth when he spoke of her. This man is a disgrace to the majority of America. I’ll never watch him again.
LLS
Well ,Gee, Bob, why does it bother you?
“This is Sarah Palin’s turn to get even, as it were,”
Why in the world would she *need* to get even??
Sounds to me like self admission of guilt.
Eat some more prunes Bob and have your ‘Depends’ changed.
Unless you want to count See B.S. you don’t have a future in “journalism” Bob.
She's mob'ed everywhere she goes!
Conservatives love her Bob!
you also have candidates like Mike HuckabeeHuckabee.
The new darling of the media, the RINOs, and everyone who is opposed to anything resembling a conservative government in the United States.
People always talk about those they fear and Palin scares the bejeezus out of the left. She is more popular than ever.

I watched Bob’s face the night she spoke to the convention.
he knew then she was solid gold and he looked scared.

“And now, part 1047 in our ongoing series on why Sarah Palin is a non-player.”
They are living in fear of Sarah Palin much like they were of Reagan. If the Republican Party wakes up and realizes that when they are very conservative, they win, they will.
