If your life is on a pre-ordered hold, get a sneak peek at Sarah Palin's memoir by reading Ben Smith's profile of her ghostwriter, World Magazine's Lynn Vincent.
Palin's choice of Vincent suggests that hers will be, emphatically, a partisan tract.
And it is of a piece with a post-election posture in which the nation's most intensely popular, and most intensely unpopular, Republican has chosen to deepen her bond with her base at the cost of antipathy from the independent voters who decide presidential elections.
As an aside, World Mag's editor in chief is Marvin Olasky, the University of Texas Professor who was largely responsible for imprinting the phrase "compassionate conservative" onto George W. Bush's philosophical map.
Lynn Vincent frequently posts at World Mag's blog (click here), which is a pleasant read and a good source for 2012 info.
It was in a World Mag interview (May 2009) that Mike Huckabee called the two-state solution "nonsense".
SC Sen. Jim DeMint also caused something of a stir when he sat down with the magazine in July.
"I am not going to be able to persuade my colleagues to do the right things, so I am just going to have to create pain."
(Out of pure coincidence, the day that story hit the mainstream (July 17) is the day DeMint's Waterloo comments also got major play).
