Former Alaska Governor and the 2008 vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has just recently released a new book. It's called Going Rogue. There's an article about some of the details on Palin's new book in an USA Today newspaper. She exposed tensions between her and aides to John McCain, the Republican party nominee for president. She mentioned about friction between her and McCain's camp. She also says she was "bottled up" from the news media and of having to pay a $50,000 tab for the background check that the McCain campaign ran on her before McCain tapped Palin as his vice presidential pick. McCain's campaign denied billing Palin for the background check.
The revelations from the book came amid an interview Palin had with Oprah Winfrey before a studio audience in Chicago. The Palin interview will be aired on the Oprah Winfrey show Monday. Palin is also scheduled to appear on the O'Reilly Factor program on FOX news next Thursday and Friday. Palin said on her Facebook page that she had a great interview with Winfrey. Palin expressed a desire to reconcile with Levi Johnston, the father of her first grandchild. Oprah asked Palin did she intend to have Johnston over for Thanksgiving. Johnston is the father of Bristol Palin's child. They both had the child out of wedlock and they didn't go through plans to marry one another. Palin also mentioned to Winfrey she flubbed on the interview with CBS anchor Katie Couric last year over foreign policy questions.
Since Palin's suprise resignation as Alaska governor this July she's been out traveling. She founded a political action committee called SarahPAC, and has put together a book together with all the marks of a campaign. There's been speculation that she's considering a run for the presidency in 2012. I was very surprised that she resigned as governor. I speculate she'll be traveling the country within the next three years promoting her book and raising her profile for a future presidential run. I wouldn't be suprised she finds some type of job making some money trying to beef up her profile and prove she knows how to operate a business.
In some of the latest polls former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee is considered the frontrunner on the Republican side for 2012. Mitt Romney places second in the polls. Does Sarah have an opportunity to win the presidency? If she were to run in 2012, I don't believe her prospects for winning that year would be great. I predict that there's a great possibility that Barack Obama could win re-election, especially if the Republicans make a repeat of 1994. Her chances of winning the Republican primary would be greater in 2016, of course anything could happen between now and 2012. If she is to have a chance, she'll be fine-tuned and pruned by the Republican party bossess to become the "establishment" candidate the party bosses desire. She will have to fit the criteria of the "establishment" Republicans if she is to win the Republican nomination, much less the presidential election.
Some conservatives hail her as the next best thing to Ronald Reagan. I remember when John McCain tapped her as his VP choice and talk show hosts such as Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity heaped praise on her. She was huge news in the conservative media. Some conservatives felt she could be an agent of change in Washington. Over the last year, she's received many disheartening attacks from the media. Sarah Palin has had a fairly successful stint as Alaska's governor. However, to think she is going to be a "maverick" or an "agent of change" in Washington, D.C. is wishful thinking. The presidency is rigged by elitists. The president is nothing but a figurehead for the internationalist moneychangers. If she was to become president, she would go along with the agenda of the elitists and pay back favors towards those who supported her campaign. The way the political system is rigged, there's no way that Sarah Palin would change Washington and steer it in the right direction. Instead, Washington will change her! I know that sounds cynical, but sadly it's the truth.
