We will soon see a flood of many books published about Sarah Palin. In the last week I have read about at least four different ones in the works.
One will be out in 2010 and is being written by Matthew Continetti, the associate editor of THE WEEKLY STANDARD. His The Persecution of Sarah Palin will be published by Penguin Sentinel in 2010. If you want a sneak preview of the pro-Palin tome, here is a two page article written by Continetti in the current WEEKLY STANDARD.

For those who may not be aware, The Weekly Standard has as its editor one William Kristol of FOX News fame. it was Mr. Kristol who "discovered" Sarah Palin and pushed her to Republican elite opinion shapers. He has a self-confessed school boy crush on Sarah Palin and was one of the few who last week refused to find anything wrong with her decision to resign her high office well before its term was up.

Palin received two memos from Paulette Simpson, the Alaska Federation of Republican Women leader, noting that two prominent conservative magazines—The Weekly Standard, owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, and National Review, founded by William F. Buckley, Jr.—were planning luxury cruises to Alaska in the summer of 2007, which would make stops in Juneau. Writers and editors from these publications had been enlisted to deliver lectures to politically minded vacationers. “The Governor was more than happy to meet these guys,†Joe Balash, a special staff assistant to Palin, recalled.
On June 18, 2007, the first group disembarked in Juneau from the Holland America Line’s M.S. Oosterdam, and went to the governor’s mansion, a white wooden Colonial house with six two-story columns, for lunch. The contingent featured three of The Weekly Standard ’s top writers: William Kristol, the magazine’s Washington-based editor, who is also an Op-Ed columnist for the Times and a regular commentator on “Fox News Sundayâ€; Fred Barnes, the magazine’s executive editor and the co-host of “The Beltway Boys,†a political talk show on Fox News; and Michael Gerson, the former chief speechwriter for President Bush and a Washington Post columnist.
Kristol fell in love with Palin, kinda like Sanford fell in love and called his Argentinian girlfriend his soulmate.
The most ardent promoter, however, was Kristol, and his enthusiasm became the talk of Alaska’s political circles. According to Simpson, Senator Stevens told her that “Kristol was really pushing Palin†in Washington before McCain picked her. Indeed, as early as June 29th, two months before McCain chose her, Kristol predicted on “Fox News Sunday†that “McCain’s going to put Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska, on the ticket.†He described her as “fantastic,†saying that she could go one-on-one against Obama in basketball, and possibly siphon off Hillary Clinton’s supporters. He pointed out that she was a “mother of five†and a reformer. “Go for the gold here with Sarah Palin,†he said. The moderator, Chris Wallace, finally had to ask Kristol, “Can we please get off Sarah Palin?â€The next day, however, Kristol was still talking about Palin on Fox. “She could be both an effective Vice-Presidential candidate and an effective President,†he said. “She’s young, energetic.†On a subsequent “Fox News Sunday,â€
Kristol again pushed Palin when asked whom McCain should pick: “Sarah Palin, whom I’ve only met once but I was awfully impressed by—a genuine reformer, defeated the establishment up there. It would be pretty wild to pick a young female Alaska governor, and I think, you know, McCain might as well go for it.†On July 22nd, again on Fox, Kristol referred to Palin as “my heartthrob.†He declared, “I don’t know if I can make it through the next three months without her on the ticket.â€
This woman is NOT going away. Levi Johnston, the father of Sarah Palins grandchild and who spent a lot of ungaurded time in the Palin house for a time, offers a very simple and honest reason for the resignation that is devoid of any effort to save Alaska from financial ruin

Remember what Mark Felt/Deep Throat told Bob Woodward in that dark DC parking garage....... "follow the money".
And it seems that Levi Johnston may be involved in a book of his own soon. This from the Politico article
Johnston is also shopping a tell-all book on his relationship with the family and said he may be "getting into some movies or something."
I have a feeling that we have not seen nothing yet.
There is a new website that is passionately in favor of Sarah Palin.
