JUNEAU, Alaska – A former member of Sarah Palin's inner circle has written a scathing tell-all, saying Palin was ready to quit as governor months before she actually resigned and was eager to leave office when more lucrative opportunities came around. "In 2009 I had the sense if she made it to the White House and I had stayed silent, I could never forgive myself," Frank Bailey told The Associated Press.

...she seems to be biding her time in announcing her run for the number one spot which may be nothing more than a well thought out strategic move.

Word is, that the clock runs down on all of the frivolous lawsuits from her time as governor, on July 26th, 2011.

I'd be willing to bet that her strategy includes announcing after that date, to prevent any of that noise from interfering with her campaign.

I bet this book sells 2-3 copies tops

I think you are VERY naive. The left fears Palin...as does the establishment GOP. They will gobble up this book.

The Washington Post recounts a story from the new memoir "Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin" by Frank Bailey, whoever he is, with Ken Morris, a novelist, and Jeanne Devon, an Alaska political blogger:

"According to Bailey, [Palin] was dismissive of those who helped catapult her to success. Several other elderly volunteers donated 10-hour days and earned Palin's belittling characterization as the "crazy old men's club." One of the men, thrilled by her victory [in the 2006 governor's race], presented her with his lucky fedora festooned with campaign buttons. "Rather than being touched by the gesture," Bailey writes, "Sarah quickly tossed the beloved hat in the trash, explaining to me that it was 'icky.' ""

"Crazy Old Men's Club" - Hmmmmmm...is that the same as the Freeper Palinista's?
