After reading pages 255-257 of Going Rogue, the overarching question is why the McCain camp wanted Sarah Palin bottled up.
If he saw her as a huge asset, why did his camp go to the extraordinary efforts described by Palin to suppress her voice?
She might answer this question elsewhere in the book, but in this extract, she seems to be complaining about being treated unfairly without answering why she was treated her unfairly.
Did they doubt her effectiveness? If so, why? There had to be a point at which their decision to pick her morphed into their decision to silence her. What was the trigger? What does Palin herself think the trigger was? We'll see how she answers.
As an aside, this bit on Katie Couric drips with animosity:
I almost started to feel sorry for her. Katie had tried to make a bold move from lively morning gal to serious anchor, but the new assignment wasn’t going very well.
Calling Couric a "Lively morning gal"? And this from someone who complains about sexism?
To go back to political strategist Dennis Miller -- Palin has to man up to her failure on Katie Couric, or else a lot of voters will tune her out, even as they tune in to watch the spectacle.
