Nice to see her viewpoint on the last election cycle and I was impressed at the way she handled differences of opinion within the campaign. She is definitely a class act; I guess that drives our liberal fanatical friends into climbing the walls.

The one thing I like about Sarah Palin is the reaction of the “lame stream media” this is more fun to watch the frustration with how ineffective they are at destroying a class act. What often goes through my mind is a classic cartoon series of Road Runner and the coyotey. The coyotey being the “drive-by media” is so full of schemas and nefarious plots and they look like shills of the White House.

You could always count on the coyotey to put together some nefarious trap that involved rock ledge and the tipping point then Road Runner spins through and doesn't trip the trap, he investigates, Boom! You can almost see the Democratic operatives rolling their eyes in disgust.

Hats off to a true political fighter Sarah Palin.

Yesterday Going Rogue dropped to #2 at Amazon after a month as #1. Today, it is back up to #1. I suspect it will be at least #3 at Amazon for the entire year. As of last Tuesday Going Rogue is #4 bestseller for the year at Barnes and Noble, right behind Mark Levin’s book. Tomorrow they release the revised list, and I suspect it will replace Levin in the #3 slot, and probably finish the year at #2.

Hopefully, new sales figures will be released by the end of the week so we can see how many were sold in its first month, I’m hoping for at least 1.5 million, and close to 2 million by Christmas.

When you read the book you can tell which parts Palin wrote and which parts Lynn wrote. They speak (write) in two different styles. Alot of the first 200 pages or so are Palin’s voice. some of the campaign parts were Lynn's they joined in the Going forward section. it seems were the book was marking Gov Palin’s success Lynn was writing more often. Maybe Palin didn't like to brag. etc. Read the book and you will see the two different voices within the book.

It works and it provides a break from one for the other. I would say Lynn probably polished the final draft from cover to cover also and acted like an Editor in that final draft.

I enjoyed her story about her first meeting with her future mother-in-law and the after effects of the Cophenagan tobacco.

funny stuff and as a person that can remember his first time dipping tobacco 100% true.
