Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue: An American Life" comes out Tuesday, and she doesn't appear likely to fade from public prominence anytime soon. Pundits and political observers wrote her off after the Republican ticket's loss in 2008 and again after her rather unconventional exist from the Alaska governorship, but Palin remains popular with the Republican base and has demonstrated her ability to drive the discourse, whether it's her Facebook post about "death panels" or jumping into the race in New York's 23rd district. Richard Kim, senior editor at The Nation, is co-editor of "Going Rouge: Sarah Palin, An American Nightmare," which collects essays from around the progressive media analyzing the mysterious appeal of Sarah Palin, Rebecca Traister of Salon, Max Blumenthal, Daily Beast contributor, and Shannyn Moore of Smart Radio in Alaska to talk about the books, the Right, and why Palin just won't go away.
