Sarah Palin continues to mix merchandising with politics, selling signed copies of her new book, via the Internet, in exchange for $100 donations to her political action committee. Her latest Sarah PAC filing with the Federal Election Commission shows the committee paid publisher Harper Collins $68,717 for books and shipping. “America By Heart” came out [...]
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Sam’s Club – the Walmart-owned megastore that sells almost everything in bulk – is hardly the epitome of glamour. So where does a superstar like Sarah Palin set up shop to sign books here? Amid the pallets of canned green beans? Behind the sea of poinsettias? Near the crates of toilet [...]
I hope Joe Scarborough likes getting e-mails, because his Politico column on Sarah Palin is sure to provoke some angry ones. Here are a few immediate thoughts on the controversial column: – Scarborough refers to Palin as “a reality show star,” but is she really? Now that we have all seen her TLC program, “Sarah [...]
Yes, it’s Thanksgiving, but there’s just no holiday from Sarah Palin news.

It was just days ago that former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska told ABC’s Barbara Walters that she believed she could beat President Obama in a hypothetical 2012 matchup.

And my attitude has always been, from the day I started this job, that if I do a good job and if I’m delivering for the American people, the politics will take care of itself.”
Mr. Obama added: “If I falter and the American people are dissatisfied, then I’ll have problems.”
