NEW YORK, (AP) -- Going negative against Democrat Barack Obama isn't just a campaign strategy for Republican John McCain. It's also a good formula for selling books.

Three anti-Obama releases were in the top 20 of Amazon.com's best-seller list on Tuesday, despite little critical attention or mainstream media coverage.

"There's a pent-up demand from people on the right side of the aisle who feel that the mainstream media is effusively covering Barack Obama and not critically covering him," . . .

That’s not the Obama I know.

Only those on "the right?" No chance the rest of the voting public would like a bit more balance in the portrayal of obama?

SFGate gets no credit, except for having an AP feed.

ANTI-Obama books??? How about TRUTHFUL Obama books! Remarkable and quite revealing that any time a leftist is exposed for what he is, the media whines attack!

Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi's latest book ranks #1,392, despite a whirlwind book tour and extensive mainstream media coverage.

Went to purchase these today at Books-A-Million and had to dig and scratch like I was going for a Playboy in 1955. Hidden in the deepest bowels of the store, near the soon to be returned and unsold copies of “Father of the Year” by John Edwards.

"The anti-Obama readership is largely one that has already made up its mind and is looking for validation, while the Obama readership comprises both those who have already made up their minds and those who are curious about him," Ross says.

It's also made up of people who want to read up on Obama so they can then have ammunition to convice friends an acquaintences not to vote for Obama.

The authors allege that Obama is not a benign spokesman for hope and unity, but an ideologue with close ties to 1960s radicals and the Chicago political machine.

Excuse me, but it's shockingly true.

I have the Corsi audio and recommend everyone to buy it.

It’s a revelation.

I think the public is totally clueless about this guy.

I’ll give you two examples.

1. Saul Alinsky—Obama and Hillary for that matter, have emulated this guy’s teachings. In short, the end justifies the means.

2. Tony Rezko. Italian? No! Syrian with ties to Saddam Hussein.

Obama is a bold face liar on almost all accounts. The book systematically addresses this.

If O’ REilly has any guts he’ll dissect Obama using the points raised in the book, allowing him to explain.

I’m not kidding anyone here. The book is shocking.

3 in the top 20 compared to Queen Nan’s book at what #1600 as of yesterday? *snicker*

I went to Books-A-Million last week to get “The Obama Nation.” I headed straight to the back of the store and found nothing. They actually had it displayed in the front of the store. Of course, I live in one of those bitter, red, flyover states.
