Drudge is headlining a Palin/Her Turn piece, pointing to two pages from chapter of her book released apparently to him,(and/or other press outlets?), before it goes on sale. The two pages hit on Catie Couric, Palin's press treatment etc. An excerpt:

From the beginning, Nicolle [Wallace] pushed for Katie Couric and the CBS Evening News. The campaign’s general strategy involved coming out with a network anchor, someone they felt had treated John well on the trail thus far. My suggestion was that we be consistent with that strategy and start talking to outlets like FOX and the Wall Street Journal. I really didn’t have a say in which press I was going to talk to, but for some reason Nicolle seemed compelled to get me on the Katie bandwagon.
“Katie really likes you,” she said to me one day. “she’s a working mom and admires you as a working mom. She has teenage daughter like you. She just relates to you,”
Nicolle said. “believe me, I know her very well. I’ve worked with her.” Nicolle had left her gig at CBS just a few months earlier to hook up with the McCain campaign. I had to trust her experience, as she had dealt with national politics more than I had. But something always struck me as peculiar about the way she recalled her days in the White House, when she was speaking on behalf of President George W. Bush. She didn't have much to say that was positive about her former boss or the job in general. Whenever I wanted to give a shout-out to the White House’s homeland security efforts after 9/11, we were told we couldn’t
do it. I didn’t know if that was Nicolle’s call.

As a conservative activist, these details are of little interest to me. The way that Palin was treated in the campaign is interesting however and it will be fascinating to see just what she eventually has to say about that.
UPDATE: Another Black Conservative got his hands on a preview of Palin on the Oprah Winfrey show as well:

I have a copy of the new Book by Sarah Palin waiting for me at Books-a-Million. Already a best seller, have people standing in line to read my new copy after I read it. This book will create a great deal of excitement. Is the left ever scared to death of this Lady. If she gets to popular, and the focus is on her, the will have to start blaming someone else for all their issues. It will be interesting to see how this "Strong" lady emerges. I feel she will beyond all expectations. Just at time when Obama people are seeing the total destruction of America, she will have some very good points to discuss. Then we shall see what the likes of Katy Couric have to say!
