Red State's Erick Erickson chatted with Sarah Palin today, and a couple things immediately stand out.
#1. What she wrote, and what you read.
Up front, I asked Governor Palin what she wanted people to take away from her book. She said policy should be a take away.
There's been a lot of talk in the media that Going Rogue isn't a policy book, that it's more biographical and anecdotal (Rush disputes that here).
In fact, before its release, it was suggested that how she split the difference might be a good divining rod for her future ambitions.
The fact Palin makes a deliberate point that it's a policy book suggests she thinks she wrote a different book than many have read. And... that she's still focused on leaving doors open.
#2. Does this remind you of anyone?
She admitted she is a gut level conservative, but also said that criticism comes mostly from “shallow people who have not delved into [her] record.”
#3. Here's a creative way of explaining why she resigned.
“I’m not gonna sit down and shut. That’s why I resigned."
