Sarah Palin Bio SOLD OUT on Amazon, Barnes & Noble (As Republican state Senate President Lyda Green attacks her)

Topics: Political News and commentaries

From the L.A. Times, "Sarah Palin bio continues to climb," via Hillary Clinton Forum:

As we noted yesterday, the biography of relatively unknown Sarah Palin was being snapped up by people eager to learn more about John McCain's choice for VP.

Today the book -- "Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment on Its Ear," by Kaylene Johnson -- is at No. 12 in all of books on Amazon. It is the No. 1 bestseller in Biographies & Memoirs of Women and also No. 1 in Biographies & Memoirs of Leaders and Notable People -- Politicians.

The Wall Street Journal quotes author Johnson as saying that "the book has been selling well in Alaska because people really like her." That's probably an old quote, as the book is now selling well pretty much everywhere.

And some in Alaska aren't Palin-boosters. The Anchorage Daily News says local politicians are "stunned." Republican state Senate President Lyda Green, who, along with Johnson, is from Palin's hometown of Wasilla, said: "She's not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president?"

Many are looking to Johnson's bio for the answer to that question.

UPDATE: "Sarah" is now, after 1pm Pacific, at #10 on Amazon's sales chart; it's the only biography in the top 10.

Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi's book has tanked.

As for the comments about Sarah Palin not being prepared, from Republican state Senate President Lyda Green, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that Sarah Palin has been kicking Republican ass all over Alaska for it's corruption and that Lyda Green has repeatedly sparred with Gov. Palin in the 20 months since she became governor - likely based upon Green's remaining neutral in Palin's fight against the corrupt former Governor Murkowski and Gov. Palin's continuously working to make things uncomfortable for politicians in the Republican Party on the issue of pork. But this is not exactly what the MSM wants us to know about.

But, by all means - MSM, keep bringing up the fact that there are folks in the Republican Party in Alaska who don't think Palin should be VP - this only reinforces the fact that she's a maverick which is nothing less than a plus in the General.

Hat tip - Free Republic
