First of all, you really should learn to read what a person actually posts. I was referring to Tancredo, not Buchanan, and to votes, not books. (Yep, the latter's latest tome is #3 on NYT hardcover non-fiction list.)
Secondly, being on the NYT bestseller list sounds more prestigious than it actually is in relation to physical sales. The NYT list is not based upon actual sales figures, but instead upon surveys of a selected pool of booksellers. Similar to payola in the music industry, slick marketing techniques are used to push books to the top of the NYT list.
The Wall Street Journal's best-seller's list, on the other hand, reflects actual nationwide sales of hardcover books [during week ending Saturdays] at more than 2,500 Barnes & Noble, B. Dalton, Bookland, Books-a-Million, Books & Co., Bookstar, Bookstop, Borders, Brentano's, Coles, Coopersmith, Doubleday, Scribners and Waldenbooks stores, as well as sales from online retailers Amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. As of today, Buchanan's book doesn't even make their top 15. Here's a link.
So to return to what I actually wrote:
Tancredo, like Buchanan before him, is a favorite of a relatively small percentage of the Republican electorate.
Pat Buchanan got what percentage of the nationwide primary vote in his presidential runs? Hmmmmm?
I read as much of your post as I could without becoming completely bored.
"Pat Buchanan got what percentage of the nationwide primary vote in his presidential runs?"
Buchanan won the New Hampshire primary, something Bush never did.
P.S.: #1 on Amazon, #3 for two weeks in a row on the New York Times' list, #1 on the New York Times bestselling political list and on the Wall Street Journal and USA Today lists.
I'll take that kind of failure.
