#IAmTheMob: Sarah Palin goes “Rogue” and Hits #1 on Amazon, B&N in Pre-Sales
Back in July, I had reported on then-Governor Sarah Palin’s (R-AK) resignation (a nice farewell here) and some initial thoughts from across the blogosphere (and from me) on what her plans for the future were. Today, however, we can certainly see where her ideas are likely to go, as her first autobiographical book — all 400 some-odd pages of it — hits pre-sales in a very big way.
Let’s start the coverage with the Sarahs-Accomplishments blog giving a great overview of general commentary:
In less than 12 hours after Barnes & Noble first offered “Going Rogue: An American Life,” Sarah Palin’s brand new book, for pre-publication sales, it has hit number one on their chart!
The book is currently number two on Amazon.com. Amazon, for some reason, was many hours behind the curve, and didn’t have the book linked. This allowed Barnes & Noble to get the early sales, and the book to reach number one on their charts a lot sooner.
**** Updated! As of 5:15 PM “Going Rogue: An American Life” is now the number one best seller at Amazon.com! ****
This new book, so new that it doesn’t even have a cover design yet, has generated serious buzz. Easily the most anticipated book of the year, Palin and her publisher HarperCollins surprised everyone when they announced that Sarah had finished her book already and the launch date had been moved to November 17 from it’s original Spring 2010 time period.
From Fox News
NEW YORK- That was fast.
Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate, has finished her memoir just four months after the book deal was announced, and the release date has been moved up from the spring to Nov. 17, her publisher said.
“Governor Palin has been unbelievably conscientious and hands-on at every stage, investing herself deeply and passionately in this project,” said Jonathan Burnham, publisher of Harper. “It’s her words, her life, and it’s all there in full and fascinating detail.”
Palin’s book, her first, will be 400 pages, said Burnham, who called the fall “the best possible time for a major book of this kind.”
The book now has a title, one fitting for a public figure known for the unexpected — “Going Rogue: An American Life.”
Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins, has commissioned a huge first printing of 1.5 million copies. Sen. Ted Kennedy’s “True Compass,” published by Twelve soon after his Aug. 25 death, also had a 1.5 million first printing.
As with the Kennedy book, the digital edition of Palin’s memoir will not be released at the same time as the hardcover. “Going Rogue” will not be available as an e-book until Dec. 26 because “we want to maximize hardcover sales over the holidays,” Harper spokeswoman Tina Andreadis said Monday.
Publishers have been concerned that e-books, rapidly becoming more popular, might take away sales from hardcover editions, which are more expensive.
Palin, who abruptly resigned as Alaska governor over the summer with more than a year left in her first term, has been an object of fascination since Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate in 2008, chose her as his running mate.
Although Democrat Barack Obama won the election and Palin was criticized even by some Republicans for being inexperienced, she remains a favorite among conservatives and is a rumored contender for 2012. Interest in her is so high that a fan recently paid $63,500 to have dinner with her, part of an Internet auction for a charity that aids wounded veterans.
Palin, 45, spent weeks in San Diego shortly after leaving office and worked on the manuscript with collaborator Lynn Vincent, a person close to her said. She was joined in San Diego by her family and her top aide, Meghan Stapleton, then spent several weeks in New York working around the clock with editors at Harper, said the person, who wasn’t authorized to comment and asked not to be identified.
We knew Sarah was a hard worker, but oh my goodness, she didn’t let any time go to waste!
This also answers the question of those who wondered why she had been “heard (on Facebook) but not seen.” It’s obvious though, after her great Hong Kong speech, and this announcement, that things are about to change on that front!
The synopsis of the book of the book reads as follows:
Sarah Palin burst onto the political scene at the height of the 2008 presidential campaign and overnight became a national sensation. Adored by the right, bitterly reviled by the left, she is the most polarizing figure to emerge in American politics in decades. Yet for all the dirt digging and gossip that has surrounded her, very little is actually known about who she is, what she believes, and above all, about her plans for the future. In her new book, Sarah Palin tells the story of her Alaskan upbringing, her marriage and family life, her political career, her religious beliefs, and her meteoric rise to national prominence. With her customary blunt common sense, she sets the record straight about the many myths and lies that have been spun around her and lays out her vision for an America that is strong, independent, and free.
We all knew this would be an autobiographical book, but it’s the last sentence that is intriguing and will sell the books! America is hungry for a true leader. The first person to come up with a real vison to get the nation back on track will most certainly shoot to the head of the pack.
Sarah started laying things out in her Hong Kong speech. It was a policy speech full of solid ideas, the book obviously looks to expand on that.
HarperCollins has ordered an initial printing 1.5 million. Currently, Sarah has 905,787 Facebook friends, and this increases every hour, on the hour. One can bet that most will buy, at minimum, one book, with many planning these as Christmas presents, and buying multiple books. I think we’re going to need more books!
Rush Limbaugh offered his thoughts:
The Wall Street Journal’s John Fund had some interesting insight on the behind the scenes goings on, and pretty much confirms what we already knew about the inept McCain campaign:
Sarah Palin may no longer be governor of Alaska, but she’s certainly destined to become a best-selling author. HarperCollins, her publisher, has announced the print-run of her memoir will be a staggering 1.5 million copies — equal to the print-run of Senator Ted Kennedy’s posthumous autobiography published this month. Publishing sources tell me that such a giant run is only ordered up when there is clear evidence from booksellers and surveys of massive interest in a book.
The book, which will be published on November 17, was a crash project. Ms. Palin actually moved temporarily to San Diego after she resigned the governorship in July so she could be close to her collaborator, Lynn Vincent. I bumped into Ms. Vincent, a former editor at the Christian-oriented World magazine, in New York a few weeks ago, where she had parked herself in a hotel close to the offices of HarperCollins while working on the book’s final edits.
Ms. Vincent didn’t reveal any details about the book, but did acknowledge it will describe Ms. Palin’s frustration over her treatment by the staffers she inherited from the McCain campaign after her surprise pick as the GOP vice presidential nominee last year. Ms. Palin was booked on grueling interviews with hostile reporters while talk-show hosts such as Glenn Beck couldn’t even get through to her aides. Mr. Beck tells me he was stunned when he picked up the phone one day just before the election to discover Sarah Palin was on the other end of the line. “She explained that she had been blocked from reaching her audience, so she was now ‘going rogue’ and booking her own interviews,” Mr. Beck told me. “I was thrilled she had burst out of the cage they’d built for her and we were finally talking.”
That incident was the only time Ms. Palin declared her independence from her keepers, and it’s fitting that the title of her upcoming book will be “Going Rogue: An American Life.”
This was a brilliant move for the Arctic Fox, and not just for sales of her book. As all big books require a book tour, and a round of interviews on all of the top shows, Sarah will be laying out her vision for America at a time it is sorely needed. At the same time, she will be starting her effort to go and campaign for like minded candidates for the 2010 elections.
Brilliant timing, and we expected no less from Sarah Palin!
The AmericanPower blog synopsizes further reactions:
Leftists are already pouncing to rekindle old smears against Ms. Palin. And the smears will continue. So far, Palin’s done everything right in lining herself up for the 2012 GOP primaries. Recall my essay on this July, “Can Palin Win the 2012 GOP Nomination?” Along with her book — impressively scheduled for an early release — she’s raising money, traveling internationally, and offering widely-read policy papers (well, Facebook “papers,” more accurately). And recall that Palin has been recognized as the most effective GOP critic of President Brack Obama. See, most recently, “Palin, in Hong Kong, Criticizes Obama’s Policies.” Best of all, Palin’s looking good in pulbic opinion. See, Gallup, “Romney Edges Palin, Huckabee in Early 2012 GOP Test.” Despite that headline, Palin’s the’s the one to beat in 2012, far and away.
The LOTUS (Laptop of the United States) blog quipped:
I have a feeling Madame’s book may just be a “stimulus package” for the paper, ink, book binding, and bookstore industries. If Madame is already #1 after day one of pre-sale, I can only imagine how many she will sell over the next several months. I’m sure that just at the sight of the words “Sarah Palin’ and “number one”, President Obama will get wee-weed up again!
Sarahs-Accomplishments also makes note of a recent AmericanThinker.com article regarding the political future of 2012:
So we are seeing a president who is way over his head. Obama has great political talent, but not nearly as great as his overweening pride. So he keeps over-reaching, and there is a good chance that we will see him hit the first massive brick wall in his health-care power-grab in the coming weeks. The Democrats may pass a symbolic medical package to save face for Obama — but then watch American seniors turn out in the tens of millions next year to throw the bums out of the House and part of the Senate. Seniors see their Medicare being stolen from them and they are not going to forget that by election time 2010.
Obama seems to be incapable of controlling his own egomania, and that means further humiliations in the years ahead. Remember that Bill Clinton looked unbeatable in 1992 and was impeached by a Republican House in 1998. No president since Richard Nixon has been brought lower than Clinton was ten years ago. Today we may be seeing Obama at the very peak of his ballistic orbit, and just beginning to curve down.
But you can’t beat a strong candidate with a weak one, and the GOP notoriously nominates some real duds. Palin has scared the Left into mass hysteria because of her star quality on the campaign trail with a visibly creaking John McCain. Sarah Palin is our only charismatic leader at this profoundly dangerous time. That is why her actions are so important to the fate of the GOP, and to the future of this country and the world. Her use of Facebook to make public policy statements has been both effective and smart. Palin is using the web just as Reagan used radio and TV, to get around the murderous filter of the media.
Sarah Palin gave an extraordinarily well-crafted speech in Hong Kong, a real Reagan speech. It almost sounds as if Henry Kissinger is advising her.
[...]
Since the election campaign, it seems that Sarah Palin recruited a top-notch team of advisors and political talent. The Hong Kong speech goes straight to her alleged weakness in foreign affairs, and it is a very good first step toward re-making her media image to be more substantive. The truth is that most of our media heads would not recognize foreign policy substance if it hit them right between the eyes. But they know the image of substance, and the Hong Kong speech was good on both appearance and reality. She demonstrated “gravitas” — in the pop slogan of the early Bush years. We need more of the same, but she has now shown convincingly that she can do it.
Obama is in for real competition in 2012; since world peace and our national well-being are clearly at stake, the more strong conservatives emerge, the better off we will be. Obama is the very worst president for these times. It is important to defeat him in a fair fight. Palin can do it; so can some others, but she is exceptionally talented.
We also need to see a “fair” fight within the GOP insofar as leadership and 2012 hopefuls are concerned. The problem that I think the “establishment” GOP is going to have is that Ms. Palin is not going to back down from her stances nor her charisma, and I think that this combination of ideas and stateswomanship is going to cause issues for the more moderate aspects of the GOP.
Then again, I don’t think that a majority of Americans are going to be satisfied with merely the ideas of “let’s grow the federal government bigger” (DNC) or “let’s only grow the federal government bigger in certain areas” (RNC). And that’s precisely why the Woman That Would Be President ™ has scorched her ideas to the top of pre-sales lists in one day (go re-read the last sentence of the first paragraph of the quoted WSJ/John Fund article again).
This tome shall be an excellent addition to my book collection.

actually i like Sarah Palin very much. she is a very good role model for all women. i believe that she is a great politician and did something very well in Alaska.
“Behar agreed with Coulter on this, but not for the same reasons. Coulter thinks Palin draws large crowds in part because of her coherence. Behar was having none of this: “Ann, I like you, but the woman is not coherent. She can’t construct a sentence.”
She debated VP Joe Biden yet cannot form a coherent thought???
[Both candidates exceeded expectations -- 84 percent of the people polled said Palin did a better job than they expected, while 64 percent said Biden also exceeded expectations. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/03/debate.poll/
Supreme Court case stumper [Palin could't name a case]? Here is Biden’s answer (so coherent and what was the name of that case?]
COURIC: (to Biden): What are the Supreme Court decisions you disagree with?
BIDEN: You know, I’m the guy who wrote the Violence Against Women act. And I said that every woman in America, if they are beaten and abused by a man, should be able to take that person to court. Meaning you should be able to go to federal court and sue in federal court the man who abused you if you can prove that abuse. But they said no that a woman, there’s no federal jurisdiction and I held, they acknowledged, I held about 1,000 hours of hearings proving that there’s an effect in interstate commerce. Women who are abused and beaten and beaten are women who are not able to be in the work force. And the Supreme Court said there is an impact on commerce but this is federalizing a private crime and we’re not going to allow it. I think the Supreme Court was wrong about that decision.

COHERENCY AT ITS PEAK!
Palin ran the state of Alaska, and until the smear merchants stepped in, was the most popular governor in the country.
“But the publishers must be confident in her popularity, as they’re printing 1.5 million copies. Though one wonders why. Of all the people who like her enough to read her book, 75% don’t read, and the other 25% can’t.”
Now THERE is a statistic to hang your hat on.
I guess women are just stupid to you BL. Palin started hunting moose in Alaska merely to annoy people like you and Joy B. If you hunt in an area like Alaska, you just can’t speak all that well. There is a correlation.
Phil,
Thanks for this story. I am so glad that Palin is going it alone writing her book and posting her policy papers on Facebook. She should just ignore the MSM altogether. She does not need them. Americans are hungry for conservative leadership that is fearless and Palin represents just that. Americans will find her. They do not need the MSM to lead them to her. I do not know anyone else who has been put through what her family has undergone and is still out there fighting. You have to respect her for her courage and willingess to face her critics head on.
Let’s slow down a bit and take another look at Sarah Palin. I found this exchange regarding the former governor who quit on her state quite entertaining…

“Behar agreed with Coulter on this, but not for the same reasons. Coulter thinks Palin draws large crowds in part because of her coherence. Behar was having none of this: “Ann, I like you, but the woman is not coherent. She can’t construct a sentence.”
And from the very conservative NY Post….
Palin’s bookers are said to be asking for $100,000 per speech, but an industry expert tells Page Six: “The big lecture buyers in the US are paralyzed with fear about booking her, basically because they think she is a blithering idiot.”
“Palin is so uninteresting to so many groups — unless they are interested in moose hunting,” said our insider. “What does she have to say? She can’t even describe what she reads.”
http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/sarah_lectures_tough_sell_Z6eKRnldUitBmiOfXCBjlI
Or this evaluation…
“But the publishers must be confident in her popularity, as they’re printing 1.5 million copies. Though one wonders why. Of all the people who like her enough to read her book, 75% don’t read, and the other 25% can’t.”
“Most sane people realize she is, as Carl Bernstein so succinctly put it, an “ignorant demagogue.” Someone who hasn’t let her incompetence and stupidity dampen her lust for power.”

I guess not everyone drank the Sarah Palin Kool-Aid and can see the truth…
Nice, but I expect that soon Woopy Goldberg’s “Lighten Up! It Wasn’t A Rape-Rape Type Of Situation” will leave Palin’s book behind – of course, Oprah and Michelle have already wrote the glowing blurbs for it.
Sarah Palin has book. I hope she actually wrote it. We know with fairly good certainty that Obama never wrote “Dreams” as two separate investigations and confirmation from a third party all point the finger at Ayers.

If a simple person like me, with limited internet skills, a very busy career, can find this stuff in less than 3 hours, they aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. There is a full swing and open assault on the rule of law, Freedom, and the Constitution.
To the resident Obots, and you know who you are, let me just agree with you!!
“YES, YOU DID” Now quit trying to gloss it over and start trying to fix what these Fascists, pretending to be Socialists, are doing.
BTW, if his birth record has been amended, and the obots say he hasn’t been adopted and BO Sr is his father, then he had a sex change. The law is clear on that in Hawaii.

Subject: HR 615
On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment, courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn which would require all Members of Congress and their staff members to enroll in any new government-run health plan.
Congressman John Fleming has proposed an amendment that would require Congressmen and Senators to take the same health care plan that they would force on us. (Under proposed legislation they are exempt.)
Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go to his Website and sign his petition. The process is very simple. I have done just that at:
http://fleming.house.gov/index.html .
Senator Coburn and Congressman Fleming are both physicians.
Regardless of your political beliefs, it sure seems reasonable that Congress should have exactly the same medical coverage that they impose on the rest of us.
Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!
Thanks.
The same Palin that bowed to AIPAC and refused to expose Obama when it would’ve mattered ??? Ahh yes,the woman now speaking up and planning her future.Anyway,to Mike—-We have as much to worry about with Noahide Laws as we do with Sharia Laws.The powderkeg set to blow was planned out by Gen.Pike in 1871.The clash between Islam and Judaism will lead to WW3. http://watch.pair.com/law.html
One final comment for now on Islam
I am not saying that are not any decent Muslims or well meaning Muslims among the “so called reformed Muslims”.
But make no mistake about about it. Islam doss not have a separation like the Christians do among Non-Evangelical Protestants, Evangelicals and Catholics. Islam does not have a separation like the Jews have between Reform and Othordox.
There are only two types of Islam, Sunni, which worldwide is by far in the majority and Shiite, which Achmadineajad is, and live mostly in Iran and Iraq. Scholarly relgious Sunni Mulims do not recognize Shiite Islam as a valid form of Islam. That is however another story.
The point being is that there is no reform Islam in the world. There are a small percentage of Muslims in the world that may be reformed in their thinking, but when push comes to shove if the traditional Muslims who worldwide are way in the majority want to pressure the so called reform into going along the reform will have no choice.
In fact in Sharia law a Muslim is subject to the death penalty for no longer practicing the religion yet alone leaving it.
So yes there a number of decent Muslim in fact hundreds of millions when it comes to their relationship with other Muslims but when it comes to Muslims relationships with non-Muslims you could stick the decent ones into Yankee stadium and not even fill it.
Well done Phil.
Gov Palin’s Hong Kong speech was very good, but she has a lot to learn about Islam.
Her stating that Indonesia is our friend and shows how Islam and democarcy can co-exist was just flat out wrong and shows a total lack of understanding of Islam and the threat that it presents to the Judeo/Chnristian way of life.
Right now in Indonesia Sharia law is being implemented nationwide including the requirement that non-Muslim women must wear a Burqua and Hijab in public.
Sharia law will soon take over Indonesia and with that will be the end of any pretense of democarcy in that country.
Gov Palin is a smart person, so hoperfully she will have the right people clue her into the dangers of Islam to our way of life.
Threre is no differentiation between so called moderate and so called radical Muslims if they both are reading the Koran. Gov Palin like most Westerns does not understand that Islam is first and foremost a political system with the Koran has its manifesto.
Geert Wilders has it correct on Islam and Gov Palin should learn from him if she becomes President or else America will continue to slide toward Sharia law just like Europe has been.
I will just give 2 examples of Sharia law visa via women.
1. A husband is not only permitted to but expected to physically beat his wife if she does not make him happy.
Let me repeat that.
A husband is not only permitted to but expected to physically beat his wife if she does not make him happy.
2. Women who lie about their virginity are subject to the death penalty.
Let me repeat that.
Women who lie about their virginity are subject to the death penalty.
As bad a threat Obama and the Progressives are to our way of life Islam in the form of Sharia law is a bigger one. Let no one kid themselves. There are 1.3 billion Muslims, Islam translates into English as “Submission”. The Koran, yes the everyday Koran used by all Muslims, states that the goal of Islam regarding infidels, i.e. non-Mulims is three fold.
1. Convert them (Thousands of prisoners, primarily black continue to be converted to Islam annually in our jails across the country.)
2. Enslave them – This is the second option.
If you can’t do either of the above then Muslims are commanded by the Koran to implement option #3
3. Kill them.
This is all part of Sharia law that the Muslims are now getting Western countries to put into place. In Indonesia it is easier to make this happen as Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world.
Gov Palin has an awful lot to learn about Islam and the existential threat that it poses to all non-Muslims.
Brilliant write up. And thanks as always for the timely links!
