One powerful niche product, The Palin Brand
Citizen Palin 4 President ^ | Matthew Continetti

The numbers in David Carr's piece on Sarah Palin's brand are striking:

(1) 2 million people watched the first episode of her show, Real American Stories. That's about the same number who normally watch On the Record with Greta van Susteren, which Palin preempted.

No quite. Roger Carr didn't get his figures right. He is missing nearly 500,000 in Going Rogue sales for 2009.

In this article Carr also falsely claimed that Sean Hannity transitioned from politics to talk radio.

Since she carried the conservative movement alone for almost a year, has unified and encouraged the conservatives that have joined her, helped energize the Tea Party movement and currently is on a national campaign to take down 20 Democrat Congressmen while getting conservatives in their place, it is hard to imagine when she will find time to “do for her country!”

I noticed that too. I was wondering how I managed to miss Sean Hannity’s entire political career. :)
