    Not really all that interested in Sarah Palin's life, so I already know I won't read it. I never read memoirs. (Except that one time in Borders, when I was bored and I read some of Louis Black's book)

    However I must say a 400 page coloring book would be awesome, I'd definitely would buy that.

    Her memoir? She didn't even finish her term as governor! I think you gotta actually do something before you can cash in on a book.

    (See my photo gallery for some awkward pics of her posing with the American flag.)

    I hope it is full of half-naked pictures of her. Why do I have to zip down anytime she comes on the news? lucky she didn't get elected otherwise I would have been worn out...

    She didn't have to finish her term. She has great stories. The campaign alone could be a book.
    As the link in the OP says, someone helped her write it--ghostwriter Lynn Vincent.There are already 1.5 million copies going to print. You betcha it's gonna be big.

    The question is who will buy more? Palin-lovers or Palin-haters?

    The majority of Palin lovers are illiterate.

    Let me guess, she has a multitude of ideas that will definitely fix America, nevermind the fact that they didn't work in Alaska. The only reason she was popular in Alaska is because she redistributed the wealth of the energy companies back to the people. Which is pure unadulterated communism if anyone besides her dares to do it.

    The Real Palin Demographic:
    I won't vote for John McCain, because I want to dismantle the American overseas empire, while he wants to preserve it at all costs. I'm a libertarian, and I believe that Republicans have lost any Reagan-era credibility they had when they speak of small, limited government. I won’t vote for The One because I refuse to subscribe to any cult of personality that is based on a myth.

    Nevertheless, I find the choice of Sarah Palin fascinating because of the problem she poses for the extreme left. They cast themselves as the champion of women and families, but this woman is a living illustration of how little the Democrats have to offer people like her.

    First, she is married to a man, and she doesn't seem at all unhappy with her situation. This is problematic for disgruntled HRC Democrats. Joe "would you like some sugar with your restraining order, Ma'am?" Biden Democrats believe that women should be able to leave their marriages for any reason or for no reason, and that taxpayers and child support enforcement policies must be designed to make this choice a neutral one, with no economic consequences at all for mom and her children. The fact that she remains married to a man - after 20 years! - and has born 5 children with him is deeply troubling to Democrats.

    The fact that she's been able to embark on a successful political career, and still have 5 children, is a thumb in the eye as far as Democrats are concerned. Democrats maintain that the freedom to have both children and a career requires government assistance, since men, by their very nature, have to be compelled by government to support women and their children. When a women chooses a lifelong partnership with a man, all she is doing is making a sneaky end-run around the government, selfishly consuming his wages and his labor directly from the source.

    Second, she is a business owner, with her husband. While far from rich, they appear to be doing quite nicely. I'm guessing they have health insurance, so they don’t need the government to provide it. Unless she leaves her husband, the Democrats have nothing to offer her except for environmental regulations and higher taxes.

    He husband is an oil worker! They draw income from the oil business! This is a big red flag, because to Democrats, anyone associated with petroleum, from the men on offshore oil rigs, to men driving oil trucks, to oil traders, to oil company managers, to oil company stockholders, are leeches on society, and defilers of nature.

    She is a member of the NRA. Democrats don’t believe anyone, except for lesbians, should be allowed near guns.

    She is an anti-abortion Christian. This is anathema to Democrats. Democrats believe that abortion should be a free choice, with no economic or personal consequences, right up to the moment of birth, at the very least. Abortion should be free of charge, funded completely by the public, and available without the slightest inconvenience to any female, of any age, of any citizenship status. Taxpayer-funded abortion clinics should be as ubiquitous as Starbucks, and rural women and children should be provided with a taxpayer-funded stretch limo and a driver to take them to the nearest clinic. It should be illegal for anyone - especially parents - to discourage abortion, or even hint that the decision has a moral dimension.

    McCain didn’t choose her because he is trying to get disgruntled Hillary supporters. He is after a completely different and much larger demographic. He is trying to appeal to women that are married to men they don’t hate. Women who are relatively happy with their lives, relatively conservative on social issues, who aren't lawyers and either didn’t go to college, or went to college and avoided Womens Studies courses. Women who are ambivalent about abortion. Women who have managed their lives successfully enough to pay taxes every year. That is a very different demographic than disgruntled Hillary supporters.:bravo:

    LOL.

    Really, can anybody take this book (or rumor of "book", if that's a worthy word) seriously?
