NEW YORK – That was fast.

Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate, has finished her memoir just four months after the book deal was announced, and the release date has been moved up from the spring to Nov. 17, her publisher said.

"Governor Palin has been unbelievably conscientious and hands-on at every stage, investing herself deeply and passionately in this project," said Jonathan Burnham, publisher of Harper. "It's her words, her life, and it's all there in full and fascinating detail."

Palin's book, her first, will be 400 pages, said Burnham, who called the fall "the best possible time for a major book of this kind."

Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins, has commissioned a huge first printing of 1.5 million copies. Sen. Ted Kennedy's "True Compass," published by Twelve soon after his Aug. 25 death, also had a 1.5 million first printing...

I smell Liberal fear.

I smell Liberal fear.

They certainly get into a fuss n muss over Palin!!

You are right. We are scared to death. You guys should definately nominate her in 2012.

After all, as I heard one of our local conservative talkers say yesterday: "She's been to China, now she has foreign policy experience!"

Yeah, we are the ones who start all the Palin threads.

Any chance she had of being a viable candidate in 2012 went out the door when she quit.

I still can't believe she did that.

Well that certainly stands as every bit of the qualification that Hussien brought to the table with his having attended school in Malaysia... Except Hussein was never a Cheif Executive; thus had never dealt with other nations as a Cheif Executive, as Gov. Palin has... and man does IT SHOW!

WHEW... whatta trainwreck.

It's worth noting that roughly twice as many people have already ordered Palin's book than have bought EITHER of the BOY King's screeds in the decade or so that they've been dying on the vine.

But that serves reason... Mark Levin's book, Liberty and Tyranny... sold over a million retail copies in a matter of a couple of months.... Beck's Common Sense had similar results. American's are thirsty for principled prose...

We've already had one dum-dum with executive experience, last thing we need is another.

Obama also has never quit his job as Chief Executive. Palin has.

Wow, that was easy.

At any rate, the "magic job qualification" barometer that you guys use is idiotic, as the standard is always one inch away from the opposition candidate's qualifications.

Oh, also, Obama now has almost a year of executive experience as leader of the free world under his belt. I'd say you guys need to come up with some new metrics to try and detract from him.

Yeah... And I completely agree. But assertions that Palin is dumb are absurd.

I know it's popular to sing that song... but it's just factually incorrect.

Palin is currently among the most conservative political voices in the country, and played a crucial role in applying the brakes to Obamacare over the summer.

The few detractors in here are welcome to mock and mire all they wish - none of it changes the fact that Palin's book is going to prove an incredible success, and her opportunities are far greater than those sitting typing away on this forum - myself included!

Coming up with the "Death Panal" talking point wasn't "crucial".

But by all means, run her and get creamed. The whole country, minus the delusional right, thinks she's a joke.
