Palin has nothing to lose and uses tons of rhetoric and unneeded hyperbole.....she's playing from the stands. Hillary is still in it to win and she'll become the next President of the United States. Deal with it Mother Fucker

LOL - spoke like a true cultist

Check it again in 3 months and see what the outcome is.
How fast did Palin's book reach the bargain bin again?
-
I'm beginning to get more and more the impression that Hilary is very overrated.
She basically has been given everything on a silver platter because of her husband who was one helluva politician. She is nowhere even close to Bill when it comes to navigating through these interviews and even a 2007 version of Obama trumps her pretty handily. She just doesn't seem to be very good at it.
She polls well when she is behind the scenes and not in the spotlight but gets exposed when opened up to hard questioning.
She's also pretty moderate compared to the rest of the party which has moved pretty far to the left.
Even though she still has great numbers with her Base Party I don't even know if the primary for her will be a cakewalk.
The Democrats have gone so far to the Left that I don't even know if they will be buying what she will be selling come 2016 COMPARED to the other people who will be on stage with her.
It will be a very interesting next couple of years to see how this plays out.

You give Soul a run for his $ in density.

The BIG $ is in the extremes. I hope yall realize that. When it comes to political donations, endorsements, TV shows, book sales, all that... the far left and far right is who is batshit enough to spend their way reading political books and watching cable news. Colin Cowherd had a big piece on it on Tuesday. Rush making over double what brian williams of NBC makes. The extremes are where the big $$$ is... and Palin is as far extreme as you get, now that she NO LONGER supports amnesty or blames man for global warming. Hilary is a RINO lol, she's about as much in the middle as one can get. A liberal hawk? haha.

And like every other dumbass leftist on here (and everywhere) and like Obama, you'll vote for her not even knowing why with the exception of her being a women.

Palin sells more books because people actually like her. People don't like the Hillary Rodham...they suck up to her like that arab dumbass who married Weiner...they even fear her...but they don't actually like her. When was the last time you heard anyone who knows Hillary!! make a comment that expressed any level of warmth towards her?
-
LOL, a bunch of dumbasses in this thread defending their little political party to death all the while Palin or Hillary wouldn't even take the time to shit on ANY of you. LOL in thinking it's going to make ANY difference if the Party of Stupid or the Party of Welfare is in power. I'm utterly amazed any of these circus clowns gets taken serious. Yet each side is CONVINCED their little side is in it for The People ::)
-
Haha, I can't wait when the next election comes around and the screaming halfwits cheering at an insane crazed bible thumper yelling 'We're taking America back!', 'We're sending a message!' ... and absolutely everyone falling for the same utter garbage AGAIN. Time after time after time after time after time after time after time after time after time.
I swear it's the only time I ever watch live TV is when these halfwits are on hyping up the the no-wits into a clueless frenzy :D
Comedy gold. Absolute gold.

Hillary Clinton Tries to Salvage Poor Book Sales w/European Tour
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On June 25, 2014 @ 10:30 am In The Point | 12 Comments
Hillary Clinton, 40% off for members
Hey Europe, hope you’re in the mood for a poorly ghostwritten book by a politician you don’t care about. Even Americans didn’t exactly line up to buy Hillary’s Hard Choices or her hard luck stories of poverty. Europeans probably won’t either.
But Hillary will still try to flog some copies on the continent.
Hillary Clinton will swing through Europe early next month to promote her new memoir about her time as secretary of state, her publisher said Tuesday.
The book, “Hard Choices,” came out the week of June 10, when it was released in the United States, and in France and Germany, where Clinton will make appearances in July. It was also published in Canada, where Clinton has held events, as well as in India, the United Kingdom, Australia and the Netherlands.
Doesn’t France have enough problems already?
“We can think of no other recent book written by an American leader to receive such an enthusiastic international reception,” said Jonathan Karp, president of Simon & Schuster.
Clearly Karp hasn’t seen Joe Biden’s latest memoir, “Me Talk Pretty One Day”. It’s only 50% plagiarized from Neil Kinnock. (The other 50% comes from Gerhard Schroeder)
Hillary Clinton’s camp has trying to push back on reports that “Hard Choices” has been a bust sales-wise.
The book has sold less briskly than Clinton’s first memoir, “Living History,” did in 2003. But officials at her publishing house have called comparisons to the first book unfair, citing a changing climate for book sales.
According to Bookscan figures cited by Buzzfeed, “Hard Choices” has sold almost 100,000 hardcover copies.
Which is really poor even compared to Hillary Clinton’s early sales. She is underperforming herself.
The memoir’s sales pale in comparison to Clinton’s first memoir, “Living History,” which sold 438,000 copies in its first week and Sarah Palin’s “Going Rogue,” which sold just over 467,000 copies in its first week.
But Hillary can always look to Europe to bail out her book sales. The Clintons have always counted on the kindness of foreign donors.

Sure to be a best seller in Beijing....

I love guys like you...you're so much smarter then the rest of us right? You see it all clearly and are so jaded by the process that you know what's really going on based on years of worldly experience. You're another been no where...done nothing idiot.

Hilary destroys Palin in terms of:
Legislative experience and impact
Experience on a world stage
Educational achievement
Personal wealth
Outside of selling a million books, and being "kingmaker" at a sub-50% clip, and helping mccain lose the 2008 race... what has Palin accomplished? Hilary is a political dynasty for 3 decades. Palin was a flash in pan for 3 years. This book is probably the top 3 palin achievement. It's a footnote for hilary between senatorial, sec of state and prez run lol.
This thread is like 240 bragging he bench presses more than Bill Gates. yes, I'm technically stronger. no, I cannot brag because he destroys me in terms of so many other areas of life, including all those tens of billions of dollars.

You love hitlery dont you?

I cannot stand hilary. You know my dislike for the clintons. but the thread is "palin destroys palin in book sales", which while accurate, is a little silly.
If hilary's ONLY objective was to sell books, she'd write a "tell-all" about the 90s monica, the 2008 primaries, the obama presidency, and she'd sell 10 million books lol. Instead she does the generic political, safe, predictable book. She'll sell a few hundred thousand. Like I said, "middle" candidates don't sell like the fringe candidates do.
if this is what the Palin fans have to celebrate as her amazing legacy, go for it. I bench press more than Bill gates, I'd say he sucks and I'm awesome and I'm winning, and he's FAIL, and anyone who defends gates obviously wants to blow him. ::)
I cannot stand hilary. I cannot stand palin. But being honest, hilary has achieved ten times more than Palin, easily. Tough to argue that.
-
You love hitlery dont you?
Yikes! Weakest comeback ever?
C'mon, SC, you can do better than that.
Why not bring up the public humiliation resulting from her prez husband's infidelity and trying to make the case that it happened because of Hitlery not taking care of business at home? (Because she's gay, of course -- You wouldn't have a problem speculating that someone is gay, would you? lol)

Im sittig in the dmv posting from my phone ready to shoot myself - leave me alone. This sucks!
-
What...specifically...wa s Hillary's "legislative impact"? Her "experience on the world stage" appears to be largely negative given what happened in Benghazi. She has more degrees than Palin and I suppose she's been better at using her government experience to line her pockets...is that something to brag about?
Personally...I don't think either one has accomplished much of value.

You should legitimately ask how many people around you plan to vote Obama in 2016. Do it. I'm betting ten people at the DMV don't know he isn't running again.

Smart enough to realise that 33366 spent nearly a decade hating on Obama and didn't even turn one person on here. Throw in; smart enough to realise that no matter whether it's the Party of Stupid, Welfare or Independents, it'll make ZERO difference to your life. But hey, go on nattering about pointless bullshit, feeling you're in 'the know' or 'politically involved'. Your 'passion' makes no difference. Politician will lie their fucking asses off before election time. All you fucking idiots will fall for the EXACT same bullshit people have been falling for since the idea 'Democracy' were still flopping around in the primordial ooze.
And you know I'm right. Some psychotic google-eyed crazed mofo will whip Stupid into frenzy every 4 years, before everyone spend the proceeding 3.5 years after that wondering WTF happened and how yet another lying sack of selfserving shit were voted in yet again :-X

dude, i'm pretty sure the FOX/Reince Priebus/Rush order is for us to STFU about obamacare. Now that people have it, repubs aren't going to take it away, so they're quietly changing the subject. Hilary did a half hour interview on FOX and it didn't come up once. I mean, you have hilary on camera and you don't discuss the BIGGEST and more intrusive FORCED bill upon every american household - I mean this shit is affecting people WAY more than benghazi or anything else they asked.
So really guys... as much as obamacare is shitting all over us... I think FOX is gonna get mad at us for bringing up obamacare.

If memory serves me correctly, weren't the majority of sales for Palin"s book attributed to bulk purchases by various institutional Church's across America? It wasn't really the " man on the street" per sé (except for 333386) his little crush on her was kinda cute. :P

Sarah Palin Uses SarahPAC to Buy Her Own Book
By MATTHEW MOSK
MATTHEW MOSK More From Matthew »
Investigative Reporter
Sarah Palin has been using her political action committee to buy up thousands of copies of her book, "Going Rogue," in order to mail copies of the memoir to her donors, newly filed campaign records show.
The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate had her political organization spend more than $63,000 on what her reports describe as "books for fundraising donor fulfillment." The payments went to Harper Collins, her publisher, and in some instances to HSP Direct, a Virginia-based direct mail fundraising firm that serves a number of well-known conservative politicians and pundits.
Sarah PAC spent another $8,000 on colorful bookmarks designed by a Nashville-based event branding firm. And her committee paid her publisher $20,000 for what appears to have been the cost of sending her personal photographer and another aide along on her book tour. Those expenses are listed by the PAC as travel repayment to Harper Collins.
What Is Sarah Palin Doing?
null
All of the purchases took place in November and December of 2009, the records show.
Meghan Stapleton, a spokeswoman for Palin, said the book purchases were part of a promotion to reward donors with autographed copies if they gave more than $100 to the PAC.
"Due to supporters' demand for the national best-seller "Going Rogue," Sarah PAC purchased books and sent free, signed copies to those who donated $100 or more between November 16 and November 25 at noon," Stapleton said. "The fundraising tool was wildly successful."
-
So she sold a shit ton of $20 books for $100? For a woman who's intellect is often questioned...that seems like a pretty smart move.

So she sold a shit ton of $20 books for $100? For a woman who's intellect is often questioned...that seems like a pretty smart move.
she used donor money to buy her own book, and created bundles for her special friends - They were GIVEN to people who had given to her campaign.
Yes, good business move, but no, I dont think she can add these to her book numbers. She bought them to give them away. She bought them with donor money, lol, to give them as freebies to donors. If the despicable human being known as hilary did this, getbiggers would accuse her of ramping up her book sales numbers.
I hope nobody sees this as an endorsement of hilary - I dislike her just as much as palin. Hilary actually wields power to wreck america - palin is impotent as far as policy making goes. so hilary is actually way worse than palin.

I agree, too. Comparing the popularity of their respective books doesn't say much about either woman.
Seems to me that it mainly says something about the number of folks interested in their respective stories.
And, that more folks seem to be interested in the details of Sarah Palin's story than they are in Hillary's isn't so surprising to me.
Cuz, sheee-it, I like to slow down and take a long look at gnarly accidents on the freeway as much as the next guy, lol.

or maybe palin fans read more than Hillary fans? ;)

Did Palin write a tell all book about anything? Wasn't her book just another "safe" political book about her views in general? Political books don't sell...not to garden variety humans any way. Generally speaking, they're bought by PACS or donors and used to raise funds or prop doors shut or balance uneven tables. Nobody lined up to hear Palin's take on the world...nobody lined up to hear Clinton's, Obama's or anyone else's
-

Now that's a good one!!

Politicians selling books pre-campaign is an old "soft money" tactic used for hella long. No one wants to read that shit but PACs buy the books and running funds are raised. Now the book AFTER office (though i dont read that shit either) are the ones that are more reflective of the guy's or gal's popularity

Obama are a cult leader at best. Oh, let's all vote for the smooth talking black guy based on NOTHING but the fact that he's, well, black and smooth talking. My friend, this is what I'm talking about. Masses of yelling, whooping and screaming halfwits whipped into a frenzy based on sweet fuck all. The same goes for the supporters of Stupid. This is why 40% of Americans didn't vote in the last election. For what? Would Romney have been better? I know you're all raised with the idea of a fair and just society where your vote makes a difference. I also realize that you need to keep on believing that :-\

Because you felt like you HAD to vote. Two average shit candidates yet you picked one?
What will happen when nobody turns up to vote in 2016 when yet another two selected lame ducks turn up with the usual bullshit lies?
That's a much stronger message. Yet everyone are blinded by 'civic duty' or 'patriotism' ::)

Ron paul was not shit and Romney destroyed faggotbama on all levels.
as we see now re-electing fagbama was a disaster that many of us predicted
