Advance sales push Palin book top

An autobiography by former US vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has jumped to the top of bestseller lists on the strength of advance sales.

The book, Going Rogue, was due to come out next spring but this week publisher HarperCollins said its release had been brought forward to 17 November.

It is already the top seller on Barnes and Noble’s website and Amazon.com.

The title refers to claims that while on the campaign trail with John McCain, Mrs Palin pursued her own agenda.

The autobiography, which was completed ahead of schedule in just four months, was produced in collaboration with author Lynn Vincent.

It is the first to be written by Mrs Palin, who abruptly resigned as governor of Alaska in July and has reportedly spent much of her time since working on the 432-page book.

There has been speculation the Republican mother-of-five is considering a 2012 presidential run.

Among the books she is outselling on the basis of advance orders are Senator Ted Kennedy’s True Compass and the new novel by Dan Brown, The Lost Symbol.

HarperCollins says it has ordered an initial printing run of 1.5 million copies. . . .

    In these serious times, a good laugh every once in a while is balm for the American spirit. Besides, no liberal should pass up an opportunity to encourage the Palin campaign fantasy.

    Always remember to mention how terrified we are of the threat Sarah poses ….. jist az Br’er Rabbit wuz skeered o’ dat briar patch.

  2. J Myers says:

    I light a candle every day for Sarah Palin.

    We’re not terrified of her. She is the darling of the Liberals. Nobody makes the Republican Party look worse. Well, except maybe Glen Beck. Oh, and maybe Rush. And, Ann Coulter. And…well, there are LOTS of Ultra Cons out there who are doing their darnest to insure a Democratic majority for a long time to come.

    Oh, but maybe I wasn’t supposed to say that out loud in case the GOP gets wise and shuts them up? Ooops. My bad.

  3. Palin Rocks says:

    Big fan of Sarah Here. To state that she or anyone is the presidential candidate today for a primary to take place two and a half years from now is absolutely ridiculous. That is unless you are the great O (sorry Oprah you lose YOUR letter). He did nothing but run for office and has extreme difficulty leading when not in campaign mode.
    Sarah’s book, her followers, and her message is more to make American better than those that need to TAKE BY WAY OF FORCE to achieve their goals.
    It is plain and simple. Sarah rocks, her message resonates and gosh darn it people like her.
    I yield back the balance of my time.

    Ssshhhh, Don Juan! We have to stop helping these poor demented Wing Nuts!

    I just feel sorry for my moderate Republican friends who have to sit in the same “time out” closet with these wackos for the next seven years.

    But DO let them continue to drag their entire party down this path to certain electoral doom. They are piss-poor at reading the voters–Palin is an ongoing Comedy Sketch and interest in her, her family, and her book is nothing more than a comic diversion–and WE LIKE IT THAT WAY!

    SEVEN years? The last time the GOP left the country in a slightly deeper hole, the Democrats held the White House for the next TWENTY years. However, due to the poor losers’ “Posthumous Impeachment of Franklin D. Roosevelt [XXII] Amendment”, we’ll have to go for TWENTY-FOUR, with three candidates.

    That’s how long the GOP held the Illinois governor’s office – and then blamed Blagojevich for what they left behind.

  6. Dark Knight says:

    They are scared to death of Palin as they have proven here yet again.

  7. Gumball says:

    They sure are obsessed with her aren’t they? Maybe they hope they’ll convince themselves of everything they yammer about.

  8. Palin Rocks says:

    Missed the point again!

    The threat of force is through the IRS for not paying the taxes that continue to raise for the “great experiment” and high expectations you all place in the institution of government.

    The methods of Sarah and those that follow her are such that more folks are free to choose (ya’all like choice dontcha?) and ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBLITY OF THEIR CHOICES.

    You do know that with less regulations, less restrictions people prosper. The need for the “safety net” decreases and our society elevates.

    Your big government answers and corresponding taxation limits growth of the individual and thus our society. We are a government of individuals. Until we are free to succeed and fail we will slip further down the slope and the only growth in productive members of our society will be in those that take from our fellow man not those that contribute.

    I yield again………

  9. The Irascible Fachna says:

    “Y’all” like REPRODUCTIVE choice?

  10. Gumball says:

    Sure do. Choose to have sex. Choose your partner wisely. Choose to use birth control. But no take backs. Take backs and “oops I made a mistake” isn’t responsible and shouldn’t be advocated.

  11. Gumball says:

    You do advocate personal responsibility, donch’ya?

  12. The Irascible Fachna says:

    Uh-huh. Figured I’d get a weasel-wiggle there. When you lose the “lifers”, then there’s no question about abandoning all electoral hope. Even the NRA won’t be able to save you; it’ll be “As Utah goes, so goes Oklahoma.”

  13. Gumball says:

    Uh-huh, figured I’d get a lame response from an empty rhetoric no meaningful content leftist such as yourself. Fachna=zero content

  14. Dark Knight says:

    I want a Gumball jersey for Christmas. Nice to see someone take care of IF so efficiently. You made it look easy. *respect

  15. The Irascible Fachna says:

    And we have our new “Grover Dill”!

  16. Gumball says:

    Yup call names when you have nothing else to say. Jerk.

  17. Ryan says:

    I like Gumball.
