[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 641010, member: 17969"] TIEGUY, no matter how many times it has been explained to you, you and baba keep posting "numbers"...PRESALE orders by right wing groups are included in the total publishing run and this makes it qualify for best seller status. Retail sales are NOT going as well and the publisher has had to make deals with Target and Walmart in order to try and reduce the inventory of unsold books. At the end of the day, retail sales are a BUST so far and retail book stores are NOT purchasing mass quantities of the PALIN BOOK. As i explained to you previously, the book will tank at the retail end and have to be DISCOUNTED and sent to BIG LOTS just to clear inventory. So far, this is true. As for OBAMAs book, PALIN's ghostwritten nonsense cant hold a candle to OBAMAS "Audacity of hope", which remained on the best seller list for 30 weeks and is now published in europe in several languages. An Italian edition was published in April 2007 with a preface by Walter Veltroni,[9] former Mayor of Rome, currently leader of Italy's Democratic Party and one of Obama's earliest supporters overseas, who met the Obama in Washington in 2005[10] and has been referred to as "Obama's European counterpart."[11] Spanish and German translations were published in June 2007;[12] the French edition, subtitled une nouvelle conception de la politique américaine, was published in October 2007.[13] The Croatian edition was published in October 2008.[14] The book remained on the New York Times Best Seller list for the 30 weeks since publication.[15] The audiobook version won the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album.[16] When Palins book is published in other countries in foriegn languages, then you will have something to boast about. Otherwise, all you have is a book purchased in "BULK" quantities by right wing groups and the FOX news channel to give people like YOU false hope by calling the book a "best seller". In new york, I challenge you to find ONE book store where there were lines out the door, or even better, a LINE. Rural america is where you will find any lines, if any. This Palin campaign is about marketing, too bad the end result will be the same. Colbert said it best, "if PALIN runs against OBAMA in 2012, he will pound her into the ground like a Tent Stake" Too bad guys like you need to wait for it to actually happen before you will get a clue. Just like you did with McCain, you went to bat for him all the way to a major blowout. Good luck with Palin, she needed someone else to write a book for her because her 6 year junior college 4 year degree wasnt good enough to write it herself. Peace :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
