Politico Click's Anne Schroeder Mullins reports that CafePress.com, which hawks bumper stickers, t-shirts and all sorts of political products, is experiencing "a huge increase" in Palin products: There are close to one million (960,000 to be exact) Palin items available. Palin is in a league all her own as compared to the 685,000 items for Hillary Clinton and mere 386,000 for Vice President Joe Biden. (You know that has to kill him.) Mullins says the trend should continue as the former governor begins to seriously promote her book. And speaking of Going Rogue, it is #2 on Amazon.com's Bestsellers list, and it has been in the top 100 for 43 days, even thought it hasn't even been released yet.
It's enough to make a liberal whine, and that's exactly what they are doing, says Don Surber: Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin, Bill O’Reilly, Ann Coulter, Beck, Palin and the rest have sold tons of books this year... And the left is wetting itself over this.
The Huffington Post asked: “Should The New York Times create a separate bestseller list for conservative blockbusters? Think of the history: we have a children’s bestseller list because of “Harry Potter” — Harry was knocking adult books off the top spots on the hardcover fiction list so publishers complained. The same thing must be true for Beck, Palin, Cheney, Bush (George W. and Laura), Malkin and others.” Surber's money quote: "It is so tough to be someone’s intellectual superior when he is out-reading you." Surber's right. This is sweet.
