(AP) - FILE - In this Sept. 3, 2008 file photo, Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, left, is joined by Republican presidential candidate John McCain, right, and daughter Piper at the end of her speech at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn. Alaska Gov. Palin confirms in her new book 'Going Rogue', that there was substantial tension between her advisers and McCain's. She bitterly details how she was prevented from delivering a concession speech on election night, how she'd been kept 'bottled up' from reporters during the campaign and prevented in many ways from just being herself. She also contends she was prepped to give non-answers during her debate with Joe Biden. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall,File)
