Going Rogue: An American Life by Sarah Palin



My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It's very unfortunate that Sarah Palin allowed campaign "handlers" to control her so much. She has some good positions and could have potentially helped steer the McCain/Palin campaign to a winning end. Nothing (i.e. the potential for a less than conservative agenda by McCain) could have been more harmful than what we're now facing (unless the current disaster inspires a complete overhaul in the next couple of elections). Palin refuses to openly place blame on McCain for muzzling her, but puts responsibility on some of those involved in running the campaign.



The book leaves a lot unsaid, but overall was worthwhile in portraying a picture of who she is and what her personal platform is. It is frustrating to see the harm that misguided people can do to our country through the influence of a corrupt and willing media, and a dysfunctional legal system. It's hard to find fault with her leaving office before the end of her term. The book provides ample illustration of a legal system in need of reform, and fair warning to anyone with a desire to enter public service. Those who are in it for the right reasons need our prayers and support.
