Sarah Palin's memoir: Why the math might not add up for HarperCollins
DAILY FINANCE ^ | 10 NOVEMBER 2009 | Sarah Weinman

Posted on 11/11/2009 6:13:21 PM PST by Extremely Extreme Extremist

Love her or hate her, Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate, is always a hot topic of conversation in the media. Her memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life, slated for release by News Corp.'s (NWS) HarperCollins next Tuesday, November 17, is no exception; it's been making news since the ink dried on the deal made last May.

When they refer to Obama, do they say “Love him or hate him”?

I stopped reading right there.

I see Sarah Weinman seemed to have missed a comparison there.

What about Hillary's book and eight million dollar advance on that? Wouldn't that be a more fair comparison?

Plus the discount on the book is a Wal Mart program and not a statement on the book. They do it with other books too.

The book will be a best seller. This writer is masquerading as a journalist when she is a partisan hack.

The comments at the link show how sick and twisted with hate the liberals are.

Unfortunately, the PDS will increase next year. Just bear with it until inauguration day when barry Obeyme steps down..

It never ceases to amaze me the lengths some are going to to dissect every aspect of this bookwriting, including naming all the names of the contributing authors and launching in to great and misleading detail about profit margins.

Tell me, did Hillary Clinton receive this much scrutiny on her books?? Thought not. They are very afraid of this woman...

Conservatives actually buy consrvative books and read them because most of them are good and literate.

The Dems are all a payoff scam liek Jim Wright, the Clinton, probably Obama’s, Boxer’s and Pelosi. It is a pure payoff. The books are “sold” to corporations or others but they all end up in warehouses then go to the dollar store or to the pulper to be recyled.

Megan McCain’s book will be another payoff scam. And bank on a Levi Johnson book too.

Pieces like this are almost always written either by certain types of women, or homosexuals.

Weinman who? These people get more bazaar every day...I don’t remember Sarah Palin announcing or bragging about a $1.whatever million dollar advance. I remember seeing lots of rumors put out by the democrats in a paranoid frenzy about it.

A last (and half-assed) ditch attempt to sink her book from a know nothing, and never before heard from, cyber Journalist.

Yeah, just putting your name on an Sarah Palin article is your claim to fame. F’idiot.

They are. 100%. The looney libs need to destroy her as soon as possible becuase they know she’s the only one in the GOP who will beat Obeyme. I dont know why she has to face those “liberal white guilt-ridden” women who make the fanbase of the Orca Winfrey Show but it’s part of the plan I guess..

Yes. I laughed when I read his comparison with some title by Kennedy I never read, going for $1,000. OBVIOUSLY meant to rach a wide readership, and meet great demand! lol

But a year after her failed candidacy as Vice President, Palin is no longer the great hope of her party.

Really? Why didn't someone tell us?

Why is the wizened old neo-socialist crows and flaccid girlie-men in the liberal contingent are so afraid of attractive articulate women who believe in normal values?
