A look at Palin’s most frequently used words capture some of the key themes of the former Alaska governor’s memoir: Alaska, campaign, Todd, family, kids, right, governor, government, oil, work, energy.
The Associated Press electronically scanned the book, “Going Rogue,” and, using software to highlight the most common words, created a “word cloud” that captures the book in a nutshell. The software filters out common words like “and,” “or,” “like,” and “the,” presents the most substantive words visually.
The roughly 127,000-word book covers Palin’s life before politics, her years in local government in Wasilla, Alaska, her tenure as governor and her failed vice presidential campaign with Republican presidential nominee John McCain.
The themes will seem familiar to anyone who followed Palin’s campaign. She refers to her husband, Todd, more than 200 times, and uses words like “family,” “kids,” “mom” and “dad” about 600 times combined.
Palin, who championed “drill, baby, drill!” as a campaign slogan, used “oil” and “energy” more than 250 times
“Oil” and “energy” appear more than 250 times combined, nearly as often as she used the word “campaign.”

Sarah you're number one and loved by many and that includes our family.
Sheesh, time flies!
You will be missed. Your creatively brilliant posts, your devotion to your one true love, that being Sarah. Oh how it must have been hard to bare witness her good name dragged through the mud by the hands of an uncaring evil liberal media. How you must have endured, night after painful night the ceaseless victimization and yet always keeping your torch burning ever brightly for Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. And your love, respect and compassion for all peoples, even the black man in the white house, as well as all the liberal sinners with viewpoints other then your own will surely have earned you a spot in heaven with the wonderful Christian faithful like the Palin Family. You have been a real trooper in the eyes of the Lord!
I was at Barnes and Nob today and there was Palin's book front and center. They had a table behind that with some Alaskan authors and most of those books had dust on them. Palin is breaking records with her book and you morons are lucky if you can break wind.
And the thought of the day, Later losers
She put the best in it's priority. She exposed what has always been missing from other politic-
ians. It's what makes her stand above the rest.
How long before she resigns from the tour and puts the bus up on eBay?
