Palin writing her memoirs

Palin inks book deal
Posted: 01:47 PM ET

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

(CNN) – Sarah Palin has inked a book deal with HarperCollins to publish her story of an unlikely political career and meteoric rise from small-town mayor to Republican vice presidential candidate.

"There have been so many things written and said through mainstream media that have not been accurate, and it will be nice through an unfiltered forum to get to speak truthfully about who we are and what we stand for and what Alaska is all about," Palin told the Anchorage Daily News Tuesday.

"The idea is to focus on the content of the book and what's coming in terms of me being able to tell my story unrestrained and unfiltered."

Palin would not reveal how much money she is being paid for the likely blockbuster memoir. But earlier this year, the Alaska governor secured the services of Robert Barnett, the Washington lawyer who negotiated highly-profitable book deals for Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Several publishes have estimated Palin could easily fetch $7-11 million for the highly-anticipated book. Reached by CNN, Barnett declined to disclose the terms of the deal.

The book is set to hit shelves in the spring of 2010, only a handful of months before Republican White House hopefuls begin to gear up their presidential primary campaigns.

Palin, who obtained a journalism degree from the University of Idaho, also suggested the book will cover more than her improbable and sometimes bumpy vice presidential bid.

"It will be nice to put my journalism degree to work on this and get to tell my story, Alaska's story. There have been so many unauthorized books and publications that have spoken to somebody else's opinion of who I am what my family represents and what Alaska is all about," she said.

In a statement, HarperCollins President Brian Murray called Palin "one of the most charismatic, inspiring and controversial figures to appear on the national political stage for many years."

"She has a fascinating story to tell, and we look forward to publishing what surely will be a captivating book," he said.

LOL but you want the reps to put the best foot foreward in 2012 right? thats why you always say that, youre a liberal hag my friend, and

ppl that dont say what they believe and believe what they say should get no respect which is why you recieve none dingus.

haha nah, i'm posting reminders of what a poor candidate she is...

so that the repubs here who worship her will realize "hey, we are never going to win with a goofus like this" and choose someone competent who can show Obama the door.

Palin 2012 would be like palin 2008.  Only she'd be screaming louder and her "bridge to nowhere" would be how she spent the sim money she happily accepted from obama.



i want nothing more than the GOP to put fwd a kickass candidate who will challenge obama on his flaws, and possible defeat him.  Not to return things to 'holy wars where seccessionist alaska will be a haven", but to a place where spending is sane, as is our big dick military.

tony, hopefully you and the other 12 repubs at this year's club meeting will choose a leader who isn't a hateful divider.  Good luck.

Yeah,maybe they can run Powell.After all a good republican always says Americans want higher taxes and more government.That is a tennant of the GOP.The GOP should run Romney.He is conservative enough for the right,a fiscal whiz,good looking[far better looking and well spoken the Obama]dresses better then Obama and looks are THE reason Obama won.They say they will attack his faith.I doubt a guy that sat in Rev. Wrights church will EVER bring up faith or want that debate.

I just delivered the solution to all the GOP's woes.

You decide to diss obama, wright, yada yada.


Seriously BILLY, read what I wrote.  Fire all these half-competent douches the GOP has been flirting with in 2008 and find us some really good choices to run against Obama in 2012.

Palin was handily thrown off her game by a pesky katie Couric.  She's played her hand.  We know what she is.  Why not deliver a GREAT candidate in 2012?  I'll donate the first $5 to his or her campaign.  Come on, Billy.  Don't settle for a mediocre candidate in 2012.  that's what you did in 2008.

240 - face it - YOU LOVE PALIN WITH EVERYTHING YOU GOT.

i'd be happy if she just decided she wanted to be a great gov, and maybe one day a great senator.

Just days before the election, she told a prank caller - who she thought was the president of france "Thank you!" when he complemented her work on a porno movie.

That's not shrewd.  Please, GOP.  Find the best Repub american and run him for president!  Give obama a challenge.  No extremists, no warmongers, no candidates who smile and nod along with everything including porno comments from world leaders.

Seriously, get your shit together, and people will come back to the party.  You keep running these twerpy half-wits who suck up to the base, and Obama will cruise in 2016 and keep on taking the tax dollars.

How about Schiff/Paul 2012???

They'd get my vote.

however, FOX news woudl bash the shit out of them, and escort some half-wit yes-man like mccain to their loyal gullible voters.

you know, like they did in 2008?

McLame sucked. 

[240 is Back]

McLame sucked. 

yep.  And when you consider just how many voters were pointed to him - away from Ron paul, who was getting donations like crazy when mcain was nearly broke - it's just sad.

FOX viewers picked the Repub candidate, for the most part, thru donations, campaigning, and voting, right? 

There are a LOT of fox viewers with mancrushes on Sean hannity.  Every time hannity would scoff when saying RP's name, or call him a fringe candidate with crazy ideas, that would cost him more primary votes.  had hannity just remained neutral, we may have seen paul vs. obama in the 2008 election.

And FOX will do it again.  You'll have some common sense repub with reasonable ideas come out to the primary.  And you'll have some flipflop puppet like Rudy or Palin.  And agian, hannity will label (the only candidate who can actually beat obama) as a loon.

And again, repub voters/donors will do what hannity says.  So the next time you blame the 'mainstream media' for kissing obama's ass, you should be thanking the right-wing media and guys like hannity for matching up obama with a flipflopping senior citizien in mccain.


All kidding aside, could anyone have picked a worse repub combo?  An inexperienced twit/snafu machine for VP, along with an old man with health problems and 'senior moements'?  Really?  Obama won because people hated bush and the only repubs FOX woul put thru kissed Bush's ass.  RP spent 4 years telling us how wrong bush was.

okay.  So we agree that a new organization actively worked to eliminate the chances of one of the republican candidates.

that in itself moves fox form "fair and balanced news coverage" to "television station with its own political agenda who actively works to negatively influece viewers about some canddiates".

Do you agree?

that's the prob.  I would "settle" for a damn qualified candidate who had his shit together.  You'd settle for a fuzzy purple dinosaur as long as it was anti-obama.  And guess what... 18% of the voters stay home when the GOP runs a fuzzy puppet.  Remember?

I am not happy about his stance on gun control, and on some other issues, but as a fiscal manager, and a man of business, competence, prudence, and common sense, I have never seen anyone close to him in national politics.

Look I am a gun fan, you know that.  However, the massive debt and fiscal recklessness of ZERO outweighs almost all else to me.
