Not really.

The Carville book rolled out on January 10, 2006.

It has had 8 weeks of sales time and sold 17,734.

That translates into 2,217 per week which is 876% more per week that Kos at 253.

The Wonkette book rolled out on January 5, 2006.

It has had 8 weeks of sales time and sold 5,383.

That translates into 673 per week which is 266% more per week that Kos at 253.

Kos is worse than the other pathetic two after further analysis.

This is before Kos was featured in the latest US News edition. Why didn't I unsubscribe the magazine yet?

Thank goodness we haven't been subjected to the tagteam of Car-vile and "Forehead" Begala pumping/promoting their book on the talking head shows. I'm glad I haven't heard of it ... until now.

Sorry ahead of time, but it has to be said:

IT IS BUSH'S FASCIST REGIME'S FAULT FOR CENSORING FREE SPEECH!

DAILY KOS 'CRASHING THE GATE' ONLY 253 COPIES PURCHASED, NIELSEN CLAIMS...

It would have sold better if it came with crayons.

Maybe he will close the distance between him and Carville/Begala who currently outpace his rag with their rag at 876% per week.

Cryvile and the Forhead aren't exactly setting the world on fire either! Conservatives have Bestsellers while Libs only have cellars.

the Kos book just rolled out, and Nielsen is reflecting 253 as the sum total for FIRST WEEK sales.

253 books sold in one week for a nationally distributed book is a bust and a failure and probably indicates it will be a money-loser, and is going to be of major concern to the publisher ... Drudge did not "compare" the two books. He just mentioned both books.

I saw LOTS of copies of this book prominently displayed in book stores.

Heh.

Just goes to prove my theory that Liberals think they don't have to read. They just wait for instructions from the local Commissar.

My tagline stands: FAKE POLLS DO NOT TRANSLATE INTO REAL VOTERS!

Also, you can't register fetal runoff to vote. Aborting away their future voter base is the Liberal legacy.

WOW! We need to send this info to all our congress people and tell them the public does not support the "kook" left and they are cowering in the corner for no reason.

Let's do it!!

If I was a liberal and worked in the MSM I would be absolutely embarrassed by this less than poor showing.

Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit)'s An Army of Davids is at 170 in Amazon and is looking like a solid sales success.

I think more people have reviewed it than have bought the Kos book!

The problem is that the free market controls book sales. Libs cant ram legislation to make people buy the book. Must irritate them to no end.
