How much are Sarah Palin's really worth?
This isn't really a political question, I'm just curious. I read she has been given a $7m advance for her memoirs. Now, I can see she has a few interesting things to talk about - first woman in a presidential race, lives in Alaska, successful career with four kids (?). But apart from that, she was the running mate of the guy who didn't win. Do so many people really want to read her book - and why? (Not trying to stir up political debate from people who like or don't like her - I just wonder if her story is that popular.) And as a non-American, I'm really curious about her appea. I mean $7m....

Sorry typo in the headline - should read, How much are Sarah Palin's memoirs really worth?

Sarah Palin has said some pretty stupid things in the past, and if there's one thing that Americans will go for, it's stupid. Whether they are stupid themselves or enjoy making fun of that which is stupid, some Americans will certainly eat this up. But even on that basis, $7 million seems a bit much since Palin has been falling from the public eye lately.
The value of the memoirs themselves however are probably (on the scale of intellectual, political, or entertainment value) next to zero.
