"New Palin Book Offers a Road Map for a Run Against Obama" from The NYT by MICHAEL D. SHEAR

The ever-expanding media-publicity empire that is headed by former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska got a bit larger Monday with the official release of her second book, “America by Heart.” Some parts of the book had leaked earlier, prompting Twitter messages from Ms. Palin complaining about illegal publishing activity. It is dedicated to her younger son Trig, and begins with the sentence: “Do you love your freedom?” As the subtitle of the book suggests, it is primarily full of “Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag.” It is also a road map to the kinds of political attacks that Ms. Palin would most likely use against President Obama should she decide to run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.
