Seemingly afraid of controversy, that rogue, rouged maverick Sarah Palin is denying supporters who huddle by the light of Ronald Reagan videos in the vast progressive wasteland the opportunity to see her in person, preventing the glory of her sublime conservative presence from protecting them against corruption by liberal demonic powers.

Seattle, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and other major cities and book-buying communities that are standard for authors on the road, but where the voters tend to be Democrats

per the Anchorage Daily News which also reports that her only stop in Chicago will be Oprah, who is decidedly liberal, as is Barbara Walters–Palin has booked an interview with the veteran news personality to air in five parts over three ABC News broadcasts – “Good Morning America,” “Nightline” and “20/20″ – starting the morning of November 17, Going Rogue’s publication date.

Says HarperCollins spokeswoman Tina Andreadis of Palin

She wants to be unconventional. She is unconventional.

Also unconventional: Going Rogue is being sold for $9, well below list price at Amazon, WalMart and Barnes & Noble.
