Palin sold 7 times as many books as Obama did

Publisher’s Weekly confirmed that she sold 700,000 copies of “Going Rogue” in its first week out of 2.5 million copies.

“Going Rogue” sold 7 times as many copies at the book stores as “The Audacity Of Hope” sold in its first week, Nielsen reported.

Her latest post on Facebook mirrored my own feelings on liberal priorities:

Congress Never Ceases to Amaze Yesterday at 7:51pm

Really? A tax on national defense? I hear liberal Congressional proposals and I, like most Americans, wonder if they’re serious. We’re going to put a price tag on security?

With Congress and President Obama spending money on everything at breakneck speed, it’s interesting that they are only now getting nervous about spending – but only when it comes to providing the necessary funds to complete our mission in Afghanistan. They don’t need a new “war tax” to fund a strategy for victory in the war zone. They simply need to prioritize our money appropriately.

I find it telling that the Pelosi-Reid Congress is only cost-conscious when it comes to our national defense. Scary. Nonsensical. Unacceptable.

– Sarah Palin

How do you feel you're able to make the call on whether Obama's book is boring then?

Just curious.

I wonder how much it costs to buy 600,000 of those books?

Obama won the election though...

Has anyone here read her book or are we raving about the sales for no particular reason?
I'll get to it next week. Will also, FINALLY, read Obama's book.
240, since you brought it up - you and me - we're reading the Audacity book and lets be done by the 15th. You did after all bring the idea of some book club up eons ago. you're on!

I read Palins' book. It was very good and you get an insight into who she is as a person and what her agenda is. The idiots who keep mocking her have not and just are all too giddy like 12 y/o girls to hop over anything she says while ignoring the complete disaster they helped elect whose ignorance ecplises anything she has done by far.

The 2008 election cycle was just part of the pre-game hype for the real object of competition, the book sales.

and now you can resell to Half Price Books and try to redeem just a little of the money you spent.
Capitalism, at its best!

One of our friendly local/liberal new channels reported a similar story, but rather than comparing Palin’s sales figures to Obama’s lesser selling book, they instead compared them to Bill Clinton’s much greater selling book.

Strangely enough, they never compared Obama’s book to Clinton’s when it was released.
