Now, as Democrats often have to do, they are changing their tune somewhat. From U.S. News' Kenneth T. Walsh:
Even Democratic strategists seem to agree that Sarah Palin has written a blockbuster of a book that will soar to the top of the bestseller lists when it comes out next month.So what once was "stupid" is now "probably pretty smart." That's Democrats for ya...
[...]
"You can sell a lot books to the right," says a prominent Democratic strategist, "and you can get a lot of lectures."
[...]
Some Democrats are revising their thinking about Palin's decision to resign from the Alaska governorship to pursue her private interests earlier this year amid nearly constant criticism of her policies and the personal problems in her family. "It was probably pretty smart to leave all that trouble behind," says a Democratic insider. "Now she can move beyond all that and support her family in a way she never could before."

Even dems can read the ratings on Going Rogue at B&N, Borders, Amazon, etc. (strangely enough, WalMart where it was #1 in coming soon, does not have it listed any more anywhere on their site). They know that it is going to be a real blockbuster, with no advertising so far. I'd like to see Palin sign another contract, and come out with 2 books between now and the fall of 2011. One should definately be on energy independence, and how it relates to national security, employment, and the economy. The other, and this would drive the left even further over the edge, about women at home, at work, and in politics. Make her pitch directly to the women of America, without the filter of the MSM, and NOW.
ReplyDeleteTo normal thinking people, Palin's decision made perfect sense. She could stayed on as Governor and gone deeply into deep and ultimately gone bankrupt or she could have chosen the path is is currently on. The later seems to have been the correct one. If Sarah would have stayed on as Governor and gone bankrupt because of the legal fees, her kook haters would still be criticizing her saying that she was stupid to stay on and fight it.
