NY Times: Bookstores Reported Receiving Bulk Orders for Mitt Romney's New Book

Romney fans, please don't shoot the messenger.

Mitt Romney's book has debuted at #1 atop the NY Times best-seller list among non-fiction hardcover books. However, the NY Times also provides some additional information that may explain how Romney's book hit the #1 spot.

Whenever the NY Times places a "dagger" symbol next to a book, it signifies that "some bookstores report[ed] receiving bulk orders" for the book.

The NY Times placed not just one, but two, daggers next to Romney's book. You can draw your own conclusion as to who it was that purchased Governor Romney's book in bulk.

By contrast, the NY Times failed to place the "dagger" symbol next to Governor Palin's book in any of the weeks she held the top position on the NY Times best-seller list among non-fiction hardcover books. Despite the left's unsubstantiated theories, bookstores did not report to the NY Times that they received bulk orders for Going Rogue. See week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4, week 5, and week 6. As you can see, in none of these weeks is there a dagger symbol next to her book.

Once again, I'm just reporting what I found from the NY Times. Don't shoot the messenger.

Every boss I ever had that was a complete weasel SOB had hair like Romney. I don’t trust him further than I could throw Michelle.

I bet the Slimes didn't use this symbol when the Clintons' respective doorstops were on their list. Typesetter wouldn't have had enough daggers.

Knowing Willard, I am sure he will change his mind and return them all.

Newsmax is giving one away with every subscription to their newsletter. Other political oriented business do similar things.

Are you trying to say Mitt is stashing all the books in his basement?

Why am I not surprised.
Except for a small core group, Mitt doesn’t have
the general everyday base throughout the U.S.

Maybe he bought copies of his own book to give to supporters who contribute to his PAC?

Willard is a taking a page right of the JFK playbook when he went up the greasy pool to the Presidency; with a big assistance from Joe Sr. JFKs two book that helped catapult him to national attention made it to the best seller lists thanks to Dad and his pals buying bulk orders. I

That's because Sarah doesn't have the money to buy up her own books. Furthermore, I don't believe she would stoop to something like that.

Well, lets see.... Who has a lot of money and thinks Romney should be president and should have a best selling book that nobody will ever read?

I mean besides Mitt Romney?

Anyone?

I heard Myth’s book can be read both from front to back and from back to front.

I know they haven’t seem nothing yet. Don’t forget we are a horde and a very excited horde.
