"America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag" by Sarah Palin is not on this week's New York Times' best-sellers' list, but it will be at or near the top next week as Sarah's army of supporters quickly make a political statement by purchasing the book. They will also be getting a very fine read, one that displays a unified theory of America and a complete understanding of the key currents that will swirl through the politics of the next two years. Readers will also be absorbing a near perfect setup for a presidential run.
"America by Heart" adds detail to the story of Sarah and Todd Palin and their family since the conclusion of campaign 2008. We are caught up on the lives of Track, back from his service in Iraq, of toddler son Trig and grandson Tripp, of Bristol's life as a single mom (though of course without much more than a mention of "Dancing with the Stars" as the book went to press weeks ago), and of Willow and Piper. These family anecdotes often launch Palin on a chapter concerning a relevant subject, such as her essay on the sacrifices of the military which -- relatively rare among American political figures -- can include the line "as the mom of a U.S. Army combat vet. ..."
Palin's take on many issues is often unique. "Frontier feminism," for example, is simply not a subject that most American politicians are familiar with, but when Palin writes that the "frontier also produced a different kind of woman" -- and backs it up with the story of Caroline Nichols Churchill -- she is making a case that most coastal elites cannot refute or even debate because of their near complete ignorance of the subject matter.

((((PING))))
Iowa, NH, South Carolina on the radar!
I wonder what the NYT Review will be like ... hmmmmmmmppph ...
w00t
Despite a few reservations - tjhere is no one I want more than her for 2012.
She’s done more than any other contemporary individual has for the conservative movement.
After Hillary is forced to the sidelines over this wikileaks flap and is shamed by the administration in an attempt to marginalize her we just may see her back someone besides Obama in 2012. Maybe a woman?
I’m a palin fan....but I must tell you..I find the palin tlc. Series annoying....I can’t stomach her for more than a few mins. Everything is a competition....you can tell the family wants her to STFU.I’m sorry but the series is going to hurt her.....
I’m reading it now. Requires tme to study it. She has thought deeply about our country.
Just purchased the ebook edition.
I couldn’t disagree more. I didn’t think I’d like it, now I DVR it to make sure I don’t miss anything.
The highlight so far has been people stopping them to get their picture taken with TODD, the IRONDOG champ.
I laughed till I cried...
This isn’t hurting her in any way shape or form...
Think back to the 2008 campaign. I can't imagine how even 0's family could have felt any different about his visibility at the time.
We're getting into an area of The Constant Campaign.
Just as the conclusion of the 2004 election began the 2008 campaign, last month election kicked off the 2012 contest.
Palin's doing what she has to do to stay in the running.
Get on board Hugh!
GONG!
I think you’re wrong.
