I work in the book publishing industry and I have access to Nielsen book sales data. Nielsen compiles book sales information from every major retailer (Amazon, B&N, Borders, Target, Costco, indie stores...). Every retailer of any significance is included in their data except (no surpise) Wal*Mart.
I can compare sales for SP's book from this time last year for her first book vs the same time period this year (data is from the exact same group of retailers in 2009 and in 2010). I think these numbers tell a pretty interesting story...
GOING ROGUE - sales through Dec 27th 2009 - 1,255,963 units
AMERICA FROM THE HEART - sales through Dec 26th 2010 - 232,344 units
These are units sold through the cash register at all of these retailers combined.
I think that says it all when it comes to the state of Ms. Palin's popularity (or lack thereof).
(Just for clarification, Going Rogue was published on November 17, 2009, while America by Heart was published November 23, 2010. So, adding in the one day difference in the above information, Going Rogue has seven more sale days than ABH. I am sure to the Palin-bots that explains everything.)
I think this, plus the information about how many viewers that "Sarah Palin sees Alaska for the first time" has lost since its debut are impossible to ignore indicators that Palin is indeed failin'.
By now it is crystal clear that Snowdrift Snooki has proven her point that the more people see of her, without the filtering by the "lamesteam media," the more they will understand the REAL Sarah Palin. Sadly nobody seems to like the REAL Sarah Palin.
Good job Sister Sarah! The media could NEVER have done a better job of revealing your inadequacies and lack of ability than you have done yourself!
Reality show turns out to be a stinker,
Senate candidate gets his ass handed to him.
Book sales in the toilet.
Republicans turning against her en masse.
Yep it looks like Sarah Palin is certainly showing all of us that the more the American people know her, the more they loathe her.
BTW the person who sent me this e-mail also sent along a couple of screenshots to prove their claim, and according to what I saw everything that is written above is absolutely correct. If any of you are also in the publishing industry perhaps you can independently confirm this for yourselves.
