Palin's book already a best-seller before release
By HILLEL ITALIE (AP) – 1 hour ago
NEW YORK — Move over, Dan Brown. Sarah Palin is on top of the charts.
Just two days after HarperCollins announced that Palin's "Going Rogue" had been moved up from the spring to Nov. 17, preorders Wednesday night for the former Alaska governor's memoir made it No. 1 on both Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com.
Among the books "Going Rogue" is outselling: Sen. Ted Kennedy's "True Compass," Mitch Albom's "Have a Little Faith" and Brown's "The Lost Symbol," his first novel since "The Da Vinci Code" and, perhaps until now, the year's most anticipated release.
Palin, in collaboration with author Lynn Vincent, completed her 400-page book just four months after agreeing to terms with HarperCollins, which plans a first printing of 1.5 million copies. It's the first book by Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor until suddenly resigning last summer.
She is regarded as a possible 2012 contender for the presidency. Past candidates, notably Barack Obama, have been helped by writing best-selling books, invaluable platforms for politicians to tell their story. The Associated Press: Palin's book already a best-seller before release

With Two Months to Go, Palin Book Reaches No. 2 on Amazon List
Susan Davis reports on politics.
Still two months before its Nov. 17 release, Sarah Palin’s autobiography “Going Rogue: An American Life” has already hit the No. 2 spot on Amazon.com’s bestseller list. She’s sandwiched between Dan Brown’s “The Lost Symbol” in the #1 slot, but ahead of Glenn Beck’s “Arguing with Idiots: How to Stop Small Minds and Big Government.”
Palin is also taking the top slot on Barnes & Noble’s bestseller list, ahead of Mitch Albom’s “Have a Little Faith.”
The former Alaska governor’s 400-page book was completed just four months after she inked the book deal with HarperCollins, and has an initial 1.5 million print run—the same number given to “True Compass,” the autobiography of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts. HarperCollins is a unit of News Corp. as is Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal.

Try not to get too many of the pages stuck together after your copy arrives.  |

Rep Power: 55 | | Lynn Vincent is the collaborater of the Palin book.
She is well regarded within publishing circles and her co-authored story Same Kind Of Different As Me, a story of a slavery-like upbringing and its accompanying challenges and his redemptive faith during personal crisis is particularly good - it is currently in production to be a film.
Here is a link to this great true-life story... Same Kind of Different as Me |

<snip> "...A reminder of Robert Stacy McCain’s feelings on the subject of interracial marriage. “[T]he media now force interracial images into the public mind and a number of perfectly rational people react to these images with an altogether natural revulsion. The white person who does not mind transacting business with a black bank clerk may yet be averse to accepting the clerk as his sister-in-law, and THIS IS NOT RACISM, no matter what Madison Avenue, Hollywood and Washington tell us.”

Here’s Lynn Vincent claiming that abortion is Black genocide.
And here’s Lynn Vincent arguing in favor of creationism: Science vs. science.
UPDATE at 9/29/09 8:45:45 pm:
If you’re going out shopping for a ghostwriter, how hard is it to find reputable people without extremist views and associations?
There are thousands of people who could have done this job. Sarah Palin picked one who is an extreme anti-abortion creationist, associated with an open white supremacist.
Bad judgment doesn’t even begin to describe this.

______________ Both of the articles you cited were not able to be read fully via your links - though the excerpt indicates thoughtful insights into those often volatile subjects.
Did you actually read the articles you linked - and if so, how?
If not, it would appear you have been caught in clear dishonesty within this very thread.
Perhaps you should apologize and move on?
Your call.....
Here is exerpt that was available to be viewed...sounds like an intelligent and compassionate author to me...

Black genocide
Abortion Present: African-Americans are fighting the high toll of abortion in their own community by developing compassionate alternatives
Lynn Vincent
Alabama State University (ASU), a historically black college, is planted near the west side of the capital city of Montgomery, a birthplace of the civil-rights movement. The campus sits at the edge of a major housing project. Or as Tijuanna Adetunji puts it: "It's in the 'hood."
That made it the perfect place for Adetunji, 38, who grew up in the Montgomery projects herself, to share her message on African-Americans and the true nature of abortion.
Earlier this year, an ASU professor invited Adetunji to address her students on the topic. "The professor knew some of her students had faced, or were facing, crisis pregnancies," said Adetunji, a pastor's wife who has lately assumed the mantle of pro-life activist. "She wanted a way to get them some help in making better decisions, better choices."

Rep Power: 171 | | | Can Republicans make up their minds? Hacks like Sinatra post every little thing that Sarah Palin does, "Oh my god! She got new glasses!" Meanwhile, others say she is still irrelevant. You all need to get together and have a little pow wow. My suggestion would be to stop cheerleaders like Sinatra who has his head so far up Palin's ass that he can see Russia from it.

Which is why some Republicans want to make Abortions so outrageously expensive? So that only rich teenage boys and the girls they knocked up or just rich knocked up girls in general can have Abortions?

Why kind of story can she even tell in 400 pages? Do we get to know about her beauty pageant days? Or how about her failed stint as Mayor? Or her quitting on the people of Alaska? Or maybe all those speeches she was given to read at the various conventions? 
My money that the most popular section of the book will be the picture section if there is one. Especially if there is a picture of her in a bikini,etc. People like Sinatra are going to have to buy two books because the first one's pages will be all stuck together.

I don't have any talking points spoon fed to me. The facts are simply that, sorry if it doesn't jive with you. You also fail to see the irony in saying I would learn something other than "Talking Points spoon fed to me" which is exactly what would happen if I read this book.
Sarah Palin in my honest opinion has done nothing significant that I would care to read about.
