She might stand a good chance of becoming Governor again if she moved to.....Utah!

Well I would look at the GOP fundraising machine and SarahPAC to start, when it comes to this particular book, but I do not personally have the resources to investigate much further."). The blogs author then goes on to provide a link to the Conservative Book Club - which offers books like Ann Coulter's for a buck. The claim the blogs author makes is that this is how the GOP boosts the sales (by buying copies then giving them away). The fact is MOST book clubs offer best sellers for such a price to entice people to join. This is true of the Military Book Club, the Science Fiction Book Club (just 2 of which I am familiar with) etc, etc, etc. They wouldn't be offering the book if they didn't think people were interested in it. That book club is a business - interested in attracting members, selling books and making money. It's NOT a free giveaway outfit by the GOP. Get real.

Again, I'm NO fan of Palin, but your post is silly. There are plenty enough people out there to buy her book - not enough to get her elected, but more than enough to move the book to the best seller list.

Oh, yeah.

The idiots in my book are:
  • Barack Insane Obama (Idiot in Chief)
  • Nancy Pelosi
  • Harry Reid
  • Barney Frank
  • Chuck Schumer
  • Barbara Boxer
  • Chris Dodd
  • Maxine Waters (One of the worst)
  • Basically anyone with a "D" after their name
These are America's idiots. I wish I could have named them all.

I see her in the future as the Marsha Clark of the political world. 15 second talking head, sound bites on CNN whenever you need the opinion of right of right field.

And why should we believe them? There is no truth in them.

Palin's book sales are based on nothing other than her popularity. People love her. Even if the leftists don't (but they are in the minority) Who cares what the leftists think? They can go suck eggs. Their opinion matters little. Everyone knows they are nuts.

Of course, Edwards may be an adulterer, but at least he's got some brains...the same can't be said about the Alaskan bimbo.

John Edwards, Sarah Palin Both See Favorable Ratings Slide

Gee. I did not know Sarah Palin was in office or running for office. How are Warren Harding's ratings?

Just add Ayers, Wright, and ACORN, and you've got a Sean Hannity show.

I'm sick of this "jealousy" deflection. I'd have to have a loose screw to be jealous of her. Most people dislike Sarah b/c she is a ditz.

Are you seriously saying that you do not think that there are any idiots on the Republican side of the aisle? C'mon. Don't you think that your post would sound a lot more credible and honest if you included at least one or two known crazies with an "R" after their name?

I think you are being scammed if you believe that. I know that some said News Max was buying her books. But according to News Max, they have not bought one book. Funny.

You leftists just can't deal with the fact that people like Sarah Palin.
One of her supporters had $63,000 to spend just to have dinner with her.

I thought all business people and rich successful people were Republicans, the way they claim it. So now you're saying no one, or no organization, could come up with the money to artificially prop up her sales?
