'Going Rogue' Sells 300,000 Copies on First Day
Sarah Palin sold 300,000 copies of Going Rogue on its first day of sale, Duff McDonald has learned. One component of a media rollout that doubled as a a one-woman economic stimulus package.
Did you hear that Sarah Palin has a book out? Of course you did. Her memoir, Going Rogue, has been the talk of the nation this week. Love her or hate her, the ex-governor of Alaska has once again sucked all the air out of the room of our national conversation. We’ve spent another week transfixed by her idiosyncratic brand of political psychobabble, her petty grievances, and the challenges faced by an “average American” like herself.

Becky5...point taken..ok..the apology was made concerning the "D". If olberman is so worried about something someone said they would do..why doesn't he lead the way. Personally I would not have stated that. Seem to remember obama making many promises he has not lived up to. I think I am alittle more concernend by the progressive path this president is taking us than I am the media spits. I like Sean..if you don't that is your right. I like Glenn, Bill, Bob...mellow out dude!!...Juan.(where have you been)...Mary Catherine, so many others on Fox news. And yes..I have tried to watch other media..too much hatred. Go Lou..wish I lived in your state..you'd get my vote!!

Here is a new one from Fox: http://img.wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/193.jpg The number adds up to 193% Are they just plain ignorant?

When I say websites, I want you to watch actual video footage. Google all these points I made.You can actually see on the internet the two times Fox purposely misrepresented the number of people at their rallies. Again, google Fox putting a "D" by a Republican name. I even saw it on Fox itself live. I heard Hannity say on HIS show to Charles Grodin that he would be waterboarded for charity. No , I don't rely on any one source for my information. I don't watch only Fox. And they have only become increasingly dishonest. So relax, I don't just rely on the internet.
Becky5
To dems are ruining this country
"Some people waited over 8 hours to meet Sarah and have her sign their books . Hannity said that she is a rock star and he is correct . Your sources of info are all radical liberal propaganda outlets . You have no credibility at all ,"
Are you saying Hannity never promised to be waterboarded? I saw him say that. You mean she didn't burn people waiting for her autograph even though there is footage of that. You mean Fox didn't try to trick people with crowd photos even though it has been proven. You mean they haven't put a "D" after Republicans who did questionable things. I think you are the one with the credibility problems. Why can't Fox just be hones. Everything I said can be found on websites. By the way, what does Hannity saying she's a rock star have to do with anything?
biker
Everything you say can be found on websites...give me a break. If you lean towards the internet for your facts..your beyond help!

Considering the fact that Palin is front and center on every media outlet out there, and networks have assigned gaggles of reporters to cover her new book release, and she's done a media blitz including Oprah, Barbara Walters and of course, non-stop Fox..... 300,000 really isn't a lot. I mean, it would be more impressive if she was less well known, but she's pretty much the most popular woman in a country of 300,000,000, and all she could squeeze out was 300,000 copies.

Go Sarah! She's a good person and I'm happy for her.

I also suspect that the reason Liberal men have such an unreasonable hatred for Sarah is that she threatens their manhood (what there is of it).

Suffice to say, a potted plant is smarter than Sarah. That is my only concern.

You're suggesting that the Alaskan voters were so stupid that they elected a "potted plant" for Governor. At first, I thought that was ludicrous. Then I realized: Look who YOU people voted President !!!!

300,000 copies the first day. Hmmmmmmm, isn't that about 299,997 more copies than Pelosi's book has sold since it was released ?
dos equis
Bill Clinton sold 400,000 in the same time period which makes Barbies book nothing special.

CROWD BOOS as Palin stiffs fans at book signing:
http://tiny.cc/QGbOM
Henri
Yeah and they sold about 290,000 of them to Newsmax, where you can get it for $4.95. Only $25.00 off the list price. Don't bring your Newmax copy of the book to a book signing. She'll only sign if you buy it from Borders for $20.00 (unless she just decides to leave in the middle of it).
Becky5
She promises to sign books and then doesn't. Hannity promises to be waterboarded and then refuses. Fox puts out false information and video on crowd sizes for the Tea Party "Press Conference" and for Sarah Palin at a book signing. They put the letter "D" after corrupt republican politicians. See any patterns of dishonesty and lies and broken promises?
liberals are destroying this nation
Becky 5 ,Some people waited over 8 hours to meet Sarah and have her sign their books . Hannity said that she is a rock star and he is correct . Your sources of info are all radical liberal propaganda outlets . You have no credibility at all , Becky 5
Becky5
Is anyone appalled at how unprofessional she was to leave her supporters in the rain without meeting her? There is no excuse she could give, outside of illness or family emergency, that could be justified.
Henri
There you go again, saying true things about Palin. How dare you tell the truth. Why are you so afraid of her?
Henri
Gee, I'm sure its an honest mistake. They are fair and balanced you know.
Mike D
Harper Collins is worried about enough sales to recoup advance given to Sarah and the author of the book.
Mike D
Does that count the free ones given with a Newsmax subscription?
democrats implode
Every time you slam Palin, you just bring her to the publics' attention and make her numbers soar upward.
After all the flack from the incompetent, stupid, insane and crooked libs, I now like her more than during the campaign.
Keep driving her numbers up.
More and more book sales for Palin, cause of you libs. LOL
Hey Piasano
Harper Collins, just order another 1million copies. You think Sarah is going to have a Very Merry Christmas. Hey all of you Obama fans how many copies of both Obama books were sold?

......and Pelosi's and Reid's?

Palin must be saying something right, say compared to Joe Biden, who sold about 2,575 books.

that would be coming from a senseless person, so my question is, How news worthy are you? nuff sez and asked...

right on

To huckster:
PALIN STIFFING HER SUPPORTERS. No surprise for a quitter. But really, she couldn't even speak to them before getting on the bus. She is one cold b***h. How many will now be willing to wait in line to see her? Maybe this will make some of her loyal supporters see that she isn't even loyal to them. Wake up Palin people. Of course her fans may try to make excuses for her. Who knows.
brazuca
Hey Becks, careful with the poisoned kool aid that you are drinking. Conservatives set the record straight they do not settle scores as libs do. Look at all the dems, all they do is get back at people.

Angry Indiana crowd booing Sarah Palin. Calling her a quitter:

Jim in JAX
citrus.....You really should wait until you get out of high school to get on here. First off, Palin's total advance is about $7 million of which she's received about $1.25 million. Obama had an admitted terrorist (Bill Ayers) writing at least one of his books for him.
citrus
Now I guess I will adress your post. The advance is irrelevant because as you said she hasn't made it all, but the 1.25 million in one day, I think, warrants the same outrage Obama got when he made 2 million in a year from his book deals.
citrus
Why must I have graduated highschool to post here? According to many people here, public school is indoctrination, wouldn't graduation mean I was fully indoctrinated? Why does a person have to be of a certain age to call someone out when they see them saying one thing but doing another. Do I have to have graduated highschool to demand that this country function? I can tell you that I don't need a highschool diploma to see that radicals are tearing this country apart.
sparker
Obama might want to start worrying about the number of American citizens who oppose his policies. The number grows with each day. Palin's book is just a hint of the magnitude of people who won't be there for him come election day.
citrus
To anyone out there who thinks she is like you or me, answer me this. When was the last time you made 1.25 million dollars off of a book deal? There was alot of criticism of Obama making 2 million from his books, why isn't that present now?
jmm49
This is a sign of how much of a real world voice Sarah has to the country (possibly the world, because I wonder how many copies were ordered from other nations). And the sweet thing is when she speaks she draws huge crowds that is driveing the liberals and the lame stream media nuts. Like her dad said she's not retreating she's just reloading.
Loyal72
Maybe we should do two things. After the "media" is done "fact-checking" Sarah's book, we should "lie-check" the BOwipe's speeches! Maybe we should also check the BOwipe's "total" book sales against Sarah's "first-day" sales. (using their LAST books). How many books has he been asked to autograph? I live in a heavily populated dem area, and the sales here were phenominal! Stay the course, Sarah, and whatever you do, don't allow them to make a "politician" out of you! We love "Citizen Sarah" who can absolutely run for office!

Add a third. Vote out as many as you can. 3 more years is a long time.

Sarah Palin describes herself as a rogue. Really! A rogue? Sarah, do you know what that word means?
Rogue:
1 : vagrant, tramp
2 : a dishonest or worthless person : scoundrel
3 : a mischievous person : scamp
4 : a horse inclined to shirk or misbehave
5 : an individual exhibiting a chance and usually inferior biological variation
Bill589
Sarah’s poll numbers are going up.
The truth is getting out past the media filters.
The more Palin is known, the more people tend to like her.
God bless her. I hope she's successful at whatever she chooses to do.
Naybob
Make that THREE boneheaded blunders for Fox News in a WEEK. They just showed a copy of GOING ROUGE, the Palin PARODY book, instead of GOING ROGUE! LOL. Someone in Fox News' control room is a Democrat spy trying to sabotage FNC!
