The United States has a health care crisis, an economic crisis, and is in the middle of two wars, yet the media is hyper-focusedobsessed with a book that is nothing more than sophomoric effort by a marginal former governor of Alaska whose primary goal is to become famous and wealthy.  Please STOP!

The media continues to ask the question that most Americans are NOT asking….is Sarah Palin running  for president in 2012?  NOOOOOOOOOO! She is not running in 2012 because she no longer needs politics to be a talk show host.  So no she is not promoting her book in battleground states because she is testing the waters for 2012.   Harper Collins chose battleground states because it KNEW that you, main stream media, would speculate whether the Alaskan  is running in 2012.  It is a promotional gimmick by a profit-oriented publishing company.  Yes main stream media you are a willing pawn in Harper Collins plan to sell as many books as possible.  The publishing giant is using political speculation to turn this juvenile and petty effort into a bestseller thanks to the Sarah-obsessed pundit class.
