The author of this arrant nonsense, Sarah Palin's memoir: Why the math might not add up for HarperCollins, one Ms. Sarah Weinman, should be stocking up on her favorite condiment to accompany crow. Ms. Weinman's dire predictions were completely and absolutely absurd, and Governor Palin's memoir has proven to be a smashing commercial success.
For Going Rogue to go big, she must attract her contingent through bulk sales to the Christian right -- an audience long ignored by The New York Times Bestseller List, and by publishing in general, until Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins's Left Behind series about the Rapture proved too big a cash cow to ignore. But a year after her failed candidacy as Vice President, Palin is no longer the great hope of her party. Her image is tarnished by gossip media's fascination with her and her family -- especially Levi Johnston, the teenage father of her infant grandson, who has proved indiscreet with reporters eager for sordid details.
