Expose author Joe McGinniss, whose long-time HQ was Swarthmore, Pa. has moved his base to Wasilla, Alaska right next door to Sarah Palin.
McGinniss was a sportswriter for the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin (the original one), then a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer before hitting the big time in 1969 with the Selling Of The President, which described the marketing techniques used in the successful Nixon campaign the year before. He is best known for his true crime books Fatal Vision, Blind Faith and CruelDoubt, all of which became TV miniseries.
McGinniss generally portrays his subjects rather unflatteringly.
McGinniss, who has written a critical magazine piece on Mrs. Palin, is allegedly writing a book about the former Alaska governor, but perhaps his move to Alaska is really motivated by a desire for peace and privacy. McGinniss has placed "no trespassing" signs all over the rented property and has threatened at least one news crew with arrest after they showed up at his door. The Palins have compassionately erected a 14-foot-high fence between the homes on his behalf.
McGinniss does appear to have a fixation on Mrs. Palin, almost like something of out a Robert Mitchum movie -- think Cape Fear or Night of the Hunter.

I’m not surprised-Swarthmore is a typical hotbed of leftist activism. Hopefully, he won’t be coming back.
Has anyone successfully befriended a snake. This guy is a bad one.
