    Is Sarah Palin Overexposed?

    Former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, center, holds 6-month-old Peyton Gray, as she talks to her father Derek Gray, 29, of Meyerland who is a member of the U.S. Armed Forces 138th Fighter Wing, during a book signing even in which Palin autographed her new book, ‘America by Heart’, at a Borders Bookstore on Monday, Nov. 29, 2010, in Houston

    Yeah, perhaps. After all, Sarah has a weekly television show on TLC, a new book, America By Heart, commentary/guest spots every few days on Fox News and is doing interviews with Barbara Walters and other MSM outlets .But, it is not as bad as saying her book tour is sputtering.

    She’s going to sell more books than just about any 2012 presidential candidate, unless Deepak Chopra throws his hat in the ring. Let’s just admit that. Let’s also ask what it means that Sarah Palin’s America by Heart is not anywhere close to the hit Going Rogue was. The new book debuted at number 2 on the NYT bestseller list, then fell to 3rd, 5th, and now 8th, which means it’s unlikely it will ever get the “#1 New York Times bestseller” badge given to recent hits by David Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, and Glenn Beck.

    Big deal. It is Christmas time and folks are busy with shopping, Christmas celebrations and family.

    But, then again consider the source. Remember Weigel resigned from the Washington Post because of the JournoList flap.
