" Tonight Glover are hater or something in between but no one and we mean no one can stop talking about her. Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin back in the headlines. Front page Washington Post USA today best seller list and -- that's her new book is even out yet the entire country is buzzing. Excerpts of the book are leaking out and as always with the governor people are taking sides just like his -- matches it means that. She is the first woman ever to hold that office good evening governor. Good evening that a Ariane. I'm very well governor why is -- whenever you -- the newspaper she is USA today should be something to her wrapped her book isn't even -- and isn't published yet. What isn't about does governor that got everybody talking whether they're for or against her in between."

" Well certainly controversy sells but I think what will be really interesting as that the book actually get some relief to me out. Get to read is to figure out how Governor Palin is gonna channel all of this attention Newsday. Going to be to talk about policy issues. That that are in play for the presidential election or does she just wants to. To set the record straight about some of the personal issues. That everyone else has had a chance to comment on."

" Well this isn't intuition about does so many journalists -- served -- voters who may should make fun of on set at live yet they can't get enough of her putting -- newspaper they have the New York Times the Washington Post when that. Is that you know it's sort of funny like if they're so indifferent to -- they think she's just so off the radar -- why -- they themselves so willing to give her -- have -- front and center."

" Well I think there are all kinds that subplots act soon Sarah Palin's story although. We'll have to read the book to see what she thinks that. Have spots are but certainly as a society we're still really conflicted over the role of mothers of young children. Working and that played out. There were you know lots of stories of intrigue within the campaign and it true or not those things are always. Make for good press but you're right AM I think it even met her harshest media critic critics. Don't wanna see her go away she is generating attention and that's an opportunity for her. Here it's up."

" It's her interest in her first choice for their first interview is Oprah Winfrey. Which of course Oprah's got a huge audience she's also as a book club but she also Bob came off the set last year. And campaign for now President Obama so that serve isn't it to me -- to see the dynamics there."

" Well AM a huge female audience and many of the issues that divide people about Sarah Palin. Do you have gender overtones and so it is. A wonderful platform I think. At Barack Obama and even before that you know when Bill Clinton wet and latest facts -- the Arsenio Hall Show we saw that these softer forms. Media really do play a big role whether you're trying to sell books. Or if you're trying to position yourself for a future run for political office and what I'm. Hope hoping to figure out I know prison which of those two things the governor is focused on now."

" So is -- is that you're is that what you're looking for because that I know from -- though the question I have and I assume that debt and we hope this is going to be here the racquet away and we have a campaign to get her to appear here -- But the question I have is now one bad hair to her venue -- I have. But very sweet of yeah I hope that both sides -- Hillary Clinton here too as well on both -- the -- but I don't know if there. And thank you what but why did she quit and if she quit. You know is that the Annenberg political career working -- convert that move into a position of strength and so that -- potential voters. Are satisfied."

" And I do think it. That the quitting. Have played into some of the less attractive -- narratives about her. And they have worked I think against her in the short term politically but it certainly gives you the opportunity. To make some money. Which is it very powerful and very important if you're gonna run for political office. And she obviously has a huge slap on the question I think you and I both have is. So -- what did she use that or is she positioning herself to weigh in on important public policy issues which I guarantee you'll get -- less. Media coverage and a lot less interest but. I think many people want to see or is she as she is completely entitled in justified in doing. Looking to leverage all of this attention to. How her family and their lifestyle and you -- it -- wouldn't whatever direction it takes -- but I think there is an important issue to be addressed here that. Speak quitting of the governor's. Of her quitting. From being governor certainly puts into major play you mean it's obvious she's not and a policy making all right now because -- don't wanna continue. To contribute in some -- those policy debate."

" But it -- fast and as we watch this roll up because you know we've had beliefs the last couple days of certain excerpts. You know not sure exactly how that happened but then journalists have their way some some don't keep their agreements on and some good books otherwise but anyway."

" Out of the -- week and -- First -- interview it is Oprah and then I think here would Sean Hannity and the Bill O'Reilly I think that's a schedule but that could be wrong and that Al Barbara Walters. But no -- watching and governor thank you very much and good luck to you governor."

" Thank you Greta."

the national stage the GOP was demoralized they had a presidential nominee John McCain who. Conservatives really weren't that enthusiastic about. And here's Sarah Palin comes along no one knows anything about it except she's young she's pretty she's trash. And she's conservatives and she I think is responsible for narrowing that gap when push came to shove at the end of the day she was responsible because she brought out conservatives to the polls. You talk to the tea party people they will say I voted for John McCain some of we'll tell you. Because Sarah Palin was on the ticket a lot of people. What do you think is you researched this book and news study Governor Palin and her background. What do you think she's thinking about her future do you think she is considering the presidency. I'm pretty sure that what they do interviewer next we got not expecting -- I'm announcing right here on the Hannity said the should run. What do you think -- for her and our plans -- me I if I had to be a betting man and I do think she's gonna run for president can give up because one thing Sarah Palin understands is that a politician needs deceased his or her moment. You know she sees what happened Barack Obama in 2006 people
Sarah Palin took a beating from the mainstream media are from the second she arrived on the national scene. This just lies -- spread about her and of course the anointed ones fans in the press. They never bothered to correct any of it as a new book chronicles exactly how the Democrats with the help of the Obama -- media. We're able to spread all of that this information about the former governor of Alaska it's called. The persecution of Sarah Palin how the elite media tried to bring down a rising star and the author of that book and Matthew. Continuity now joins
you -- write a book about it I did you know when Sarah Palin appeared on the national scene Sean but no one knew anything about all they knew was that choose a pro life Republican woman. And so the media's biggest started filling in the blanks getting on the phone with people Alaska her -- primarily and -- down every nasty thing they could about about Sarah Palin . None of which is true you bulletin very specific things have -- her alleged support -- Pat Buchanan wasn't true not true
the warts are going on the economy was sliding downhill. And then Sarah Palin comes along and remains true that the only time during that entire campaign that John McCain was ahead in the polls. Between his announcement of Sarah Palin as his running mate and of course the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. Which no one could stopped at the worst part of
family's off limits and the media took their marching orders but when Sarah Palin came around. Every member of cover family from her oldest son to her youngest son and daughters in between they were all targets including her fourteen year old daughter willow was a target. From David Letterman after. Sarah Palin and John McCain lost the election 11 of the things that did you discuss is that the campaign knew for example that her daughter was pregnant. That this was all alone. If it's that the -- came to her and said listen if there's anything you don't wanna put on the written questionnaire. Bring it up in a phone interview the first thing they tell me that she brought up in that phone interview let's listen. My daughter's pregnant they knew from the get go. Now the campaign itself. They were blind sided. But the -- and John McCain and his top advisers they knew from the get go that the daughter was pregnant yet and then the media when --
this continues to the state is very simple the leftist afraid of Sarah Palin . What could possibly get one FaceBook post changed the whole health care to.
