From an appearance Oprah, to an interview with Barbara Walters, to a three-week long blitz starting with a bus tour through much of middle America, Palin is in full-fledged campaign mode. This time the goal is not to win votes, but to sell books.

Crowds have turned up at many of her of books signings with people standing in line for hours to get an autograph from the former vice presidential candidate.

While we were Hillary democrats, we voted for John McCain and Sarah Palin. After all, what choice did America have. I have thoroughly enjoyed Sarah's book and now the Truth is known. The sorry liberal media has been exposed for what it is. As Governor, she accomplished what seemingly was impossible. What other governor can claim such success. Look at Obama who accomplished nothing, got a free ride from the liberal press, and is now showing he was not equipped to be president. As America gets to know Sarah even better through her book, her common-sense, patriotic approach will endear her to all Americans.

There will be a book, there have been book offers with top publishers. But how much would you pay for Sarah Palin's book? Do you think a book advance would fetch 7 million?

The first time I read a non fiction book, I felt like an English teacher reading students term papers on the same topic over and over. I'm sure this book is no different seeing as she never had anything new to say during the election. maverick maverick maverick hockey mom pitbull liberal media... yawn. Everyone's a scholar if you put the right material in front of them...

SARAH PALIN WILL BE THE 45TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES! (Unless Obama wins the war in Afghanistan and captures or kills Osama...then he will win 2nd term.) The book is wonderful. Those that are lucky enough to have a signed copy sure are fortunate.

Not a chance, 50 - she's a quitter.

Glad you enjoyed the book, though.

Spoken like true liberals. Don't know the facts and would rather bash a person with childish words than intellectual criticism. Palin has sold more books than any of your liberal counterparts (at the same value, actually, even more. Obama's book is for sale for $3.99 and still no one wants to buy it)....and is bringing in record numbers of supporters at her appearances. She will take this country back from the socialist we have in the White House. Since taking office, he's tripled the debt, unemployment has doubled, and, oh, he's announcing more troops to the Middle East...something he opposed during his campaign. And where exactly is that transparency?

O' Bama's "The Audacity of Hope" has only sold about 800,000 copies since its release in 2006. Sarah has sold over a million in 1 week! LOL

Let's see, 1 million copies at $1.95 each equals enough money to take a Gulfstream instead of the bus.

You go, girl.
