Sarah Palin Picks Christian Journalist to Collaborate on Memoir
USNews ^ | 5/22/09 | Dan Gilgoff

Posted on 05/22/2009 3:00:23 PM PDT by anniegetyourgun

Sarah Palin has picked a Christian author and magazine journalist to collaborate with her on her forthcoming memoir for HarperCollins. The journalist, Lynn Vincent, has been at World—the nation's best-read Christian newsmagazine—for the last 10 years as a writer and editor.

This isn't a surprising choice for Palin, but it's certainly one worth noting. It's more evidence that she's honing a distinctly Christian public image since coming off the campaign trail last year. This seems to be a change from the days when she was a state-level figure, almost entirely unknown outside of Alaska.

It took me a couple of minutes to collect your disgusting comments on Palin. I see you apparently hit "abuse" on my post... huh?

BTW the only one "obsessed" here is you with your hatred for Palin and her family. Not to forget your obsession with using the word "abortion" when describing Palin.

To get me to do that much work, I'd have to be PAID (har har).

I defend my principles and core beliefs for free. Some people apparently have neither and only work for coins.

BTW you are using FR to advertise your company's services... tsk tsk tsk.

I see Holly Robichaud’s name has been removed from Braynard’s home page.

Yeah, except that's not enough info to give you the Joe the Plumber game. I actually have your entire voting history (and that of every other American) at my finger tips. date of birth, address, phone number, who you live with, answers to surveys you may have responded to, who you live with, very likely your hunting/fishing/CC license (depends on the state), yadda yadda.

But honestly, I just don't care enough to go dig it up.

Hey - maybe one of these other guys can do my profile page for me since they now know me so well. Diogenesis is president of my fan club and my pet here on FR. Maybe he can do it?

I worked for Haley (a brilliant man, great conservative) at the RNC when he was chair and then, when he was running for governor, was on the host fund raising committee for a big event here in DC during his first run. Volunteer, of course.

Yes - and I appreciate you guys pointing it out. The site was out of date; we haven't worked together since 2006 and while I don't mind you making me your life's work, I'd just as soon leave others (who love Palin and undermined Romney!) out of it.

But please - stay tuned. The website, portolio, etc, and the about page for all seven of my staff will be updated in two weeks with a much better, flashier, stalker-friendly design for you to play internet detectives with.

Here's your badge:

I earned my stripes many years ago volunteering and moved up back in the day as well. Mainly local but some national campaigns at the local level, so I too know from whence I speak

So again I have to ask, given your client base as described, is insulting and showing out in front of their core demographic set as is represented by many here on FR a wise course?

And before you go and say something stupid like “you dumba$$s don't represent yada yada yada” you list Haley Barbour as a former client and I have been a long time Barbour supporter. If he so chooses to run nationally it will also be the first time in almost 20 years that I will actually come out and work in any given significant capacity for a politician.

So I am your core demographic Matt.

I also am quite fond of Palin. She has a certain charisma and bearing that is political gold if handled correctly. That you don't see that is a tick odd given your "political creds" but that is another matter.

So tell me I am an idiot, an ass, a back bencher etc.

I see you had SW post removed. Wise move, I would not want clients to see how I treat their target demo in public if I followed your methods...

Let me illustrate something. You said:

"She has a certain charisma and bearing that is political gold if handled correctly."

Notice the slight qualification in there? Do you really want a nominee who has to be handled?

As far as expressing my mind - no, I'm cool with it. Most campaigns I work with I am so far under the radar it is untraceable. IE - subcontracting.

And I really WOULD like to see Haley run and then we might work together. Although he has some pretty damning problems (paid foreign lobbyist for the Mexican governor - is that worse than being a paid by Romney? har har) to overcome.

Funny, we might be on RINO defense for him on FR.

Haley is a very good and very Christian man, I have had the pleasure of meeting him several times and know several who have or do work for him.

Do you think he would treat Conservatives, even those in opposition, as you do here?

Interesting...

Since I vote republican and always Conservative, I assume your target demo is something else then...

All politicians have handlers, prep folks etc.

If you are an experienced politco you know that.

Haley's problems are not insurmountable, and have no issues from a Conservative POV save the recent Eminent Domain call, which is rather more complex than people are representing given our economic situation in MS.

“But...but.... Rush Limbaugh PRAISED Liz Cheney.”

I’ll praise her when she says something right as well. I just don’t want the downside ignored.

Please don’t crawl into the pig slop with this lunatic.

Watching people argue with him is like watching a conservative go on the View.
