Stumble It!ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is about to re-emerge on the national scene.
It's been four months since Palin resigned as Alaska governor, and she's largely been out of the public eye working on her memoir. "Going Rogue: An American Life" will debut next month.
Now Palin is ready to help promote the book by sitting down with Oprah Winfrey.
Harpo Productions announced Tuesday that Palin will appear on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on Monday, Nov. 16.
According to Harpo, the interview will be Palin's first about her new book, and it will be the first time Palin and Winfrey will have met.
Palin's book was No. 4 on Amazon.com's best-seller list on Tuesday. It's slated to be released Tuesday, Nov. 17, the day after Palin's interview with Winfrey.
Palin will also be hitting the speech circuit in November and December.
Palin is scheduled to speak in a Milwaukee suburb next month as part of a program presented by Wisconsin Right to Life.
Officials say no tickets will be sold at the door of the Nov. 6 event at Wisconsin Exposition Center at State Fair Park in West Allis, Wis.
Palin also is set to speak about patriotism, citizenship and civic engagement on Dec. 2 at the College of the Ozarks in southwest Missouri. The Springfield News-Leader reported Tuesday that Palin will be the featured speaker for a community convocation.
The College of the Ozarks is a Christian school near Branson with about 1,400 students.
Since resigning from office July 26, Palin has made only a few public appearances, most notable a speech before investors in Hong Kong. She's also appeared at a gun rights dinner in Anchorage, and attended the welcome home ceremony in Fairbanks for soldiers, including her son Track.

Sarah should sell tour t-shirts the way heavy metal bands do. "Palin, 2009...Sold Out!"
It's rather "ironical" that she would speak about anything at a college.
Oprah next month.Thats Must See T.V.!

Figures the News Miner would have a new Palin story but nothing about the three people who got shot in the shootout at the Super 8 last night.
<<<<<<<<to speak on Dec. 2 at the College of the Ozarks about patriotism, citizenship and civic engagement. >>>>>>
how does that encompass quitting an elected position to sell books????
there is an article about the people who were shot truthinnews its pretty sad though
Sarah Palin is in the news again. Reading about her is similar to looking at a car crash with people laying around dead. It's distressing and maybe even disgusting, but you just have to look anyway. What a society...

Ozarks. Perfect. Let's hope that last paragraph isn't straight off their press release.

"re-emerge"? This woman would have trouble merging into traffic.
Wow what a bunch of he-men women haters. How big it must make you feel when you are denigrating a woman.
Some of these comments from the scared little socialist/liberal boys are just ridiculous. I hope your parents don't find out what your writing on the internet.
I know many of you want Palin to go away. I feel for you all. Really, with no relief in sight your stress levels must be rising. Try jogging or smoke some pot or something. Stress is bad for your health.
Hey roadtrip got some pot? Or a beer or sumpin'? Stress me down brother. I wanna stay healthy. No relief in sight, help a brother in need.
Sarah Palin 2012
My wife and think she's the great one.

My wife and I says, you've some scary thoughts about Sarah Palin and come down from that mountain and love and support her in 2012
CHICAGO - Sarah Palin is going to sit down with Oprah Winfrey.
Harpo Productions announced Tuesday that the former governor of Alaska and Republican vice presidential candidate will appear on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on Monday, Nov. 16.

Meg Stapleton must have had a big bowl of stupid for breakfast: To actually book Palin on the Oprah show? LMAO Buwahahahaha! Oprah is going to tear Bible Spice to shreds.
PALIN 2012!!!!!!!!!!
answer a question, does this mean we have six more weeks of winter?
Also
“The College of the Ozarks is a Christian school near Branson with about 1,400 students.”
Now even Sarah harshest critics will allow her, her ultimate dream. The dream is so simple, she wants to make “3 Redneck Tenors” four rednecks. To her fans, allow your star to really shine.
The only, ONLY reason Palin is even known is because she was McCain's running mate. She's attention hungry and knows little to nothing about the politics going on in the world. It sounds like she's doing better, but she is not qualified to be anything but an AK governor, and she could barely do that.
Step down Sarah, your 15 minutes of fame have come and gone.
Run, Sarah, run. It's about time we had a real American at the helm. I'll hold your coat. I'll buy your book. I'll knock on doors. I'm not the only one.

Who is the first governor you can think of when you hear the word surplus? Who is the first governor you can think of when you hear the word fighting corruption? Who is the first governor you can think of when you hear the word small government, unlike other republicans and democrats? Who is the first person you can think of being hated by the liberals cause they're scared of that person? if they weren't scared, they wouldn't even bother
I posted my little post and wow people like it. Bakedpotato and kwigster05 with your help and the help of others we can make her the fourth redneck.
I am so touched and moved, excuse me I need a moment.
You're right, kwigster, I am scared. Know why? Because Sarah Palin is possibly the stupidest person ever elected to public office. I'll be damned if I sit by and let her try to move on to higher office. I do everything in my power to let my friends and family in the Lower 48 know what a twit she is. When they ask me, "What is Sarah Palin REALLY like" I usually reply "Imagine if Anita Bryant had a lobotomy. That's Sarah Palin."

Can change Sarah Palin to Barack Obama and still tell the truth. What cracks me up the most is we can get over with our debt if we spend more money as a nation. Simple
Bakedpotato , there are millions of us. Yes. And it is no secret. You see it in the fear in slyfarts post. You see it in the way Godbama's administration attacks the people who voice opposition to his ideas. And you see it in the left's unquestioning obedience to their master.
2012 (R) Dream ticket: Sarah Palin & Dan Quayle, 2 peas in a pod, good healthy vegetables.
You say potato(e) and I say potahto(e)
let's call the whole thing off.
The dream ticket for the republicans will be Obama's abysmal and glaring failures. Honestly, Bush will be an issue in 2012, as in "it is still Bushes fault". In 2036 Chelsea Clinton will run for president on a platform of "it's still Bushes fault". Betcha.
I always wonder why so many out of state commenters waste their time trying to get people in Alaska to support Palin. The bottom line is Alaska only has 3 electoral votes and the last time they went to a Democrat was 1964. So convincing us to like her really is a waste of time. If she ever did get the nomination, she has a better than average chance to get our electoral votes. Wouldn't it be a better use of your time trying to convince people in a state with more electoral votes to like her. Most people here have seen enough of what she has to offer to make an educated decision on their own.

Obama has "abysmal and glaring failures"? Are they like Sarah’s abysmal showing in the polls and glaring failure to capture even a majority of republicans?
"Both Romney and Huckabee easily topped Palin in head-to-head comparisons. The survey, which was conducted by telephone on Oct. 15 among 750 likely GOP voters, did not include a hypothetical Romney-Huckabee race."("Poll: Huckabee gains at Palin's expense" USA Today Oct 19, 2009)
Poor Kwigster can't come up with anything on his own. (Kind of like Palin getting someone to help her write about her life).
Kwigster just showed how irrelevant your post was.
I love the fact that Sarah is not afraid to show up anywhere, unlike some politicians like Obama.
It is so nice to know that Sarah consumes a liberals every thought,... I do think, however, that Oprah will try to back stab our next president. Be careful Sarah.
SARAH 2012!!
Phule -- "Step down Sarah, your 15 minutes of fame have come and gone."
That "15 minutes" has lasted 13 months, so far.
Google 'Sarah Palin' = 16.6M hits
Google 'Barack Obama' = 9.8M hits
Sarah has more common sense in her little toe than Obama's entire community organizer ivy league body.
I'm a little confused snogoqueen, why exactly is my post irrelevent. You have heard of the electoral college haven't you.
Sarah isn't afraid to show up anywhere???.... Except for work for the second half of her term.
And again -
As for the last umpteen stories about
our former governor -
who cares?
aktrucido, You are confusing political positioning for actual accomplishments. So far Godbama has accomplished nothing. Unless you call spending borrowed money an accomplishment. Do speeches count as accomplishments?
A quick note -- no, former Governor Palin does not really factor into anything outside of your world up there, at least for the moment. She will now go on this book tour down here and speak to the converted, but as to whether she will convert others to her way of thinking, well, I am hard pressed to believe it. At least where I live, a city of five million give or take, our minds are elsewhere right now. When I mentioned Palin's book in class the other day -- blank stares. Of course, the class is all female, they are about to graduate, and no, they are hardly in her camp. Be real.
So good luck to her. but I will really be impressed when she visits places NOT in her camp. Then we'll see what, if any, response she receives.
It was funny to see people complain about Palin when she was in office and many talked about removing her....then when she ups and leaves office on her own terms and accord, then she is called a quitter by the same persons that were calling for her head....Is this not just a bit hypocritical??

truthinnews, LOL! i only posted cause it's both sides, not just one side, yet your only criticizing the other. i love commenters like you who accuse the other side even though the exact same thing occurs on the other. poor you
Palin is like a herpes virus...she keeps coming back when you least expect it.
Pinhead -- "I will really be impressed when she visits places NOT in her camp."
Agreed. She'll be visiting with Oprah and her audience soon. Definitely not her camp; I will definitely not be watching.
Prospector, Well, Oprah does have the golden touch. Why, I just don't know. Maybe it's a female thing--women are really drawn to her it seems. So yes, this could be very helpful. Then again, it could be a Katie Couric moment. My gut says she'll be more polished after that experience, though. I have no fears or hopes one way or another, though i am sure both sides have already written how well she did/didn't do before the interview even happens. I'll just wait and see...
if Sarah even shows up for the Oprah interview.

Sarah Palin 2012
My wife and I believe you're the jealous.
My wife and I believe that you are a computer-generated figment of someone's imagination. We also believe you ought to get a real job other than writing on the DNM site. Just saying.
Pinhead_from_the_East
My wife and I think you're a pinhead.
But wait a second kwigster, If my post was irrelevant then yours was too. Careful who you copy.
truthinnews, there you go. finally admit something that's true about both sides. keep up the good work.
Thanks kwigster. I appreciate it, since I'm not for either side.
that's good. finally see you admit about both sides. that's nice to know for someone who's on one side all the time
mr one time your comments in of themselves are much more amusing than the thought of Palin 2012. I think the primaries will take care of that. I would love for once to see a comments section regarding a Palin article that somehow did not become an anti Obama comment section. Interesting how in World news there are never any Obama comments addressing Obama directly. So limited.
She's in it for the money honey...greedy, greedy, greedy. She never cared about AK, obviously you Palin supporters forgot she bailed ship?!
