Those weren't all "gotcha" interviews, as she complained so many times, that revealed the real SP. That was the real thing-just listen to her resignation speech. You can't deny the truth.
360 would put her right back where she started

Neither can I but then again, the media covered Brittany Spears meltdown as if it was "breaking news"; on one of the major networks this morning, in their scrolling, the breakup of Justin Timberlake and whoever he was dating was mentioned; celebrity divorces, marriages, pregnancies, etc. are actually considered newsworthy these days so I guess I'm not surprised that SP is in there, too. When someone new comes along, she'll be replaced. I can't imagine someone who quit their role as governor being considered a candidate for anything else in the future and she's certainly not doing anything to ready herself for any politically prominent position. She's made it clear by resigning she doesn't want to do the work involved for higher office.

Wow. The Help by Kathryn Stockett has been in the top 100 for 219 days; must be a great book.

Default Sarah Palin's book leaps to #1 two days after release date announcement

I hope the leftists had a good time crowing that nobody wanted Sarah Palin's book. Apparently the American people only had a few hours to allow the leftists their glee. Actual figures are starting to come out now and, to put it politely, the leftists' statements are "no longer operative".

Palin 'grateful' for top spot - Andy Barr - POLITICO.com

Two days after the release date of Sarah Palin's book was announced, it's already become the top seller at both Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. A publishing industry source told POLITICO that they "cannot remember a non-fiction book taking off like this in the pre-order market."

On Rush today, he was saying that Palin has over 1,000 offers to speak. And that she is the number one on Amazon and Barnes and Noble and the book has even come out. Unprecedented for a non fiction book.
