It’s almost beyond belief but Sarah Palin’s book “Going Rogue” is already the best selling book on both Amazon and Barnes & Nobles. This even though it isn’t finished yet.
Un-be-lie-va-ble.
Forty-eight days before the release and she’s already topped Dan Brown’s latest conspiracy-theory casserole at both top retailers. To put that in perspective, note that the book doesn’t even have a cover yet. So much for the Page Six hit piece about demand for her being slack.
Politico – which is no friend of Palin (this the organization that broke the $150.000 wardrobe scandal last year - adds that these pre-order sales are “unprecedented.” A publishing industry source said they “cannot remember a non-fiction book taking off like this in the pre-order market. It became number one only a couple of hours after nothing more than a date announcement. It is truly unprecedented.”
She could not possibly have hoped for a better start of a presidential campaign. And let’s face it, chances are she’ll run for president. She should. There’s not one Republican out there who is more popular among the grassroots. The only question is whether she’ll attempt to succeed Obama in 2012 or 2016.
Like it or not, this woman truly is a phenomenon.

By the way, Politico while taking that overtly sexist shot at Palin, didn’t break the story that the Obama Campaign spent $293,000 per hour in October.

No story on how much all of Hillary’s pant suits cost either….
she’s a little too christian conservative for me, but you know what? if that is what it takes to beat the Marxist King Obama and OAF (Obama and Friends) then I’ll vote for her any day.
Geekmom, she may be a christian conservative, but she didn’t govern that way. I guess you knew that the first bill she VETOED as governor was one that would have denied state benefits to same-sex couples. She said the Alaska Supreme Court had already ruled the bill unConstitutional, so she killed it — thereby ensuring that same-sex couples had the same rights as opposite-sex couples. THAT sounds like a common sense conservative.
The religious whacko description of Sarah Palin is a caricature created out of whole cloth by the the leftist media. It’s not accurate.
The woman who has strong moral convictions, but named her children Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig, is pragmatic. Her speech over in Hong Kong demonstrated that unlike some Christian Conservatives, she’s not paranoid about the religion of Islam. She actually said some pretty amazing things about her views on Islam and Muslims. In essence: fight the terrorists, leave the religious wars out of it.
Nicole you are brilliant. As a conservative man, who has been deeply disappointed by his male leaders since Reagan, I think it is time to pass the baton to the conservative women leaders. Sarah has my vote for whatever office she runs for.
Republicans and conservatives that write off Palin as stupid or this or that are cheating themselves out of a world-class leader. Like Nicole said, you’re buying into leftist tripe — and therefore, they win. Don’t be naive. Like Rush says, “The libs will always show you who they’re afraid of, and they’re terrified of Sarah Palin.
“Do you see them attacking Romney or Huckabee? No. They’re harmless. Palin is the real threat because conservatism works every time it’s tried.”
I innately liked Palin as much as I innately disliked Obama. It was visceral. There was no explaining it. For the millions who love Palin, most could give specific reasons why that is; but another multitude might just say “there’s something about her.”
What really sealed the deal for me was seeing her personal budget as Gov of AK compared with her predecessors. This woman treated every taxpayer’s cent as if it were her own. She cut expenses to the bone. Can’t wait till she does that in DC. Read all the documented things at http://www.conservatives4palin.com.
I pre-ordered my book on Amazon. I predict Palin may top 5 million in book sales.
Five million is an awful lot Brian.
But: never say never. It’s possible, that’s for sure.
After attending a Sarah Palin rally my 15 yr old autistic granddaughter noticed that the news media reporting on the rally totally misrepresented what she had to say. They also conveniently forgot to mention the thousands of supporters who were unable to get inside. I have to say I became a fan when I heard her speak at the convention. She struck me as someone who sees a problem and does what she can to fix it as opposed to those who see a problem and say someone should do something about that.
Did you all see the cover? I did. It’s on her Facebook page if you haven’t seen it yet. It’s worth a look.
Let me tell you something. Palin personally approved that cover before it was released. She is a very shrewd woman. That cover will be in thousands of bookstores over the Christmas season just as Palin is starting to roll herself out. Mittens’ book won’t be there. Neither will Huck’s. Nor will the callow young lad Tim Pawlenty make himself present. Obama will start to become Yesterday’s News (one can only recycle “Dreams of Bill Ayers’ Father” so many times before it becomes stale…). The point is, that book cover will make tens of millions of “impressions” over the first half of 2010, just as people start to think about politics again.
That book cover is a campaign poster. Trust me on this.
Don’t worry guys, Sarah Palin will become the next president of the United States, and she is destined to become the first female POTUS. SARAH PALIN MAYBE AMERICANS’ LAST HOPE IN KEEPING THEIR FREEDOM. God is so great and all just. The truth will let us free. The MSM, liberal elites and RINOS will soon pay for what they have done to Sarah and her family…. remember, folks, the karma relates as WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. BHO was a manchurian candidate who has won the whitehouse. I say, let him enjoy such privilege while it lasts and let the MSM and liberals who put BHO in the whitehouse enjoy the party to the fullest, for now…life is always like a spinning wheel, one side always goes up and down. The worst thing that a man with much pride can experience is falling down from the highest elevation of his career. Sarah Palin for now is being humiliated and mocked, and it is God’s will and all knowing that Sarah can endure such pain…there will come a time that “a bright star will soon rise from the far north.” Sarah Palin will have the final glory……
That cover says: working class, down to earth, patriotic. That pretty much embodies Palin. Palin for President 2012.
You can see Christ in her heart and that is why the world will hate her and why the Left does hate her.
Of course, anyone who has not accepted Christ in their heart wouldn’t fully understand what I just said and reject that notion completely. I believe it is the only true excuse why there is a plethora of vile attacks against her.
