Background:

Her book "Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment Upside Down," released in April has jumped to a Amazon bestseller over the weekend as voters (and journalists!) try to learn more about her.

...or can you have a NYT bestseller that is not a popular read?...or How much is McCain being paid for setting up this unwitting NYT Bestseller?

...or will her book be this year's great stocking stuffer, for those who are still trying to figure out what is going on after election day?

Have faith: your questions will be answered.

@randburg John McCain is being paid 0. If he was getting paid that would be called bribery. To choose a VP just to sell something is pretty much illegal. It would be the equivalent of Weapons manufacturers paying Bush to go to war with Iraq.
