Bookstores Mirror 2012 GOP Primary
They say never judge a book by its cover—but is it okay to judge a candidate by his or her book? With three likely candidates for the 2012 Republican presidential nominations becoming published authors over the next few months, book sales may be one factor in pundits' predictions for the upcoming race. Both former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin are taking to the road right now, promoting their new books—for Huckabee, A Simple Christmas, his folksy account of Christmases past, and for Palin, Going Rogue, her folksy account of the 2008 election. The potential candidates' books reveal differences in their characters: Mitt Romney plans to release No Apology: the Case for American Greatness, by all accounts a much less folksy tome of policy issues and political analysis. What the three Republicans' adventures in writing point to is a banner era for conservative publishing: Penguin vice president Will Weisser says the niche has been "renewed with vigor."

Its going to be a bible smack down in 2012, your going to see christians going at each others throats and tearing each other down, lets hope Sarah Bush nows her scripture because Mike Huckabee is going to school her on the bible quotes,and Mitt Romney is going to school her about the mormon bible and joesph smith.
2012 is going to get ugly for the Re-publican party in the primary, there going to find dirt that makes the other one look less christian than the other one , ITS GOING TO UGLY ........! and JESUS WON"T BE PROUD

Maybe Mitt could take on sister Sarah and have them all live together , it would be a good reality show, but I'm not sure it would be good for our country, I thought we should be better at democracy since we are exporting .

Palin isn't going to run.

An autobiography isn't an autobiography anymore. Its merely a stepping stone. Don't expect any deep insights--just overblown self-importance. "After suffering a heartbreaking hangnail setback at the height of his career... blah, blah, blah...."
Don't waste your hard earned dollars.

Naw, mormons give people the creeps. Mitt Romney may run, but he won't win.
christer nut-job Mike Huckabee will not "turn the other cheek" to christer nut-job Sarah Palin's campaign..
christer nut-job Mike Huckabee will torpedo christer nut-job Sarah Palin's campaign at every step. It will get ugly.
christer nut-job Sarah Palin may retaliate, but Palin is a light-weight and will be clobbered in the primaries.
And yes, there will be many warnings of wholly buy-bull prophesy including the return of that dead-guy-on-a-stick gee-zuzz.
The christer campaign plan is simple: "Vote for a christer white supremacist or the 'mud people' will rape your daughters."
