I really hate to burst the bubble of people like you, but not all
books are coloring books.

Amazon's Top 100 disagree with you. As I have already proved.

You guys on the right need to forget about Palin. She is a polarizing
personality and does not have enough supporters to win a national
election. It. will. never. happen. And if by some miracle she does get
the nomination in 2012 Obama will drive her into the ground. Greg, you
need to be pragmatic about this. If you guys lose any more ground you
will have no say at all in shaping policy.

I'm as liberal as all get-out and even I don't want a one-party system,
Democrat or otherwise.
