On Wednesday, Katharine Rust, who curates the Atlantic's facebook fan page, posed the politics channel's Question of the Day to its fans: "What do you think we'll learn about Sarah Palin from her memoir, "Going Rogue: An American Story," slated for release Nov. 17? Anything? Bonus: suggest an alternate title (please be civil)."

The winner of the contest that we're starting and ending at the same moment... now... is:
Steve Katcher: "Winksmanship: I Can See Your Country From My DoorStep."  That's pretty funny.
