You really cannot put lipstick on a pig. She really has nothing to say, and a fat ego with which you cannot negotiate.
She probably refused to dish dirt, instead calling her dad up every few minutes (read somewhere that her dad conirmed this) to get more trival crap ironed out about things that went on at her beauty pageants, during her cheerleading days, her, her, her, her. They likely tried to tell her that people want to read it for her dirt on others, and she insists, nope, they want to know everything about ME!! ME!! ME!! It is likely mind numbingly boring, filled with too many details of unimportant things, like an old lady's house filled with knickknacks and souvenirs - cherished memorabilia for the old gal, but just utter crap that her heirs one day will be shoving into dumpsters as they clean up. Palin's core audience is gonna be disappointed, and the question is how many of them will own up to feeling that way after they have read it.
So the publishers probably were worn down and exhausted by dealing with her and just decided to let the bitch commit suicide - ordered up a million copies, prayed hard that repub. groups will buy this load of crap in the gross to give out for free at their freaky conventions and conferences, and now need to rush, rush, rush and generate some quick interest in this before people start laughing as they read it and word gets out, and buyers during an economic downturn turn their backs on this crap.
It will be discounted and available at Costco a week after it is out. Her "base" will more likely get it at the library instead of shelling out for it, except for some of the more hardcore Caribou Barbie fanatics. The economy sucks so much that some stores have Christmas things for sale already. A boring book by a has been whose only claim to fame now is that some of the old white repub guys find her "hot, hot, hot" is not going to be a best seller in the traditional sense of the word. They will probably call it a best seller, once all the conservative groups try to buy it up for later giveaways, but that doesn't count if you have a brain to understand how this or that particular book got to be called best seller.
No one is going to shell out themselves to read this, not in meaningful numbers. The rush by her publishers tells me so.
