Republican Former Governor

‘Going Rogue-An American Life’, the memoir written up by the Republican Former Governor Sarah Palin just shot up to the top of the US bestseller charts. The book released just a week earlier has topped the charts with great inspiring figures.

Surprisingly, the book has almost half a million copies already sold out, and has crossed over the other blockbuster books written by writers like Stephen King and James Patterson to become a best seller. The book is still grossing higher amounts and will achieve a new level, with its current magic. According to Nielsen BookScan, the book has become the highest selling book in the recent week.

Palin contested for the post of a vice-president last year on the losing ticket of John McCain and is looked up as a potential Republican Presidential Contender in the future times. Palin launched her book on the November 16th and got it published by HarperCollins, amidst a number of several media appearances and a book tour in the style of a political campaign.

She gained immense attention during her appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show, which thus contributed immensely for the publicity of the book and her political life. However, although her electability stays a much disputable topic, she does perfectly well in the field of book writing against the various other heavyweight writers in the Washington.

The sale stats of the book shows the book selling about 469,000 copies in the first week, slightly less than the memoir written by Former president of America, Bill Clinton. “Going Rogue- An American Life”, thumps the overall performance of President Barack Obama’s book “Audacity of Hope” that sold about 67,000 copies a week after its publication.

The book comes up as the writing about racing for the White House in the year 2012. Adding her view, she was heard saying, “That certainly isn’t on my radar screen right now, but when you consider some of the ordinary-turning-into-extraordinary events that have happened in my life, I am not one to predict what will happen in a few years”. Although she said that she was ready to take up the lead, “if the people will have me.”
