  1. Help me out here with some logic:

    1. Sailer is God
    2. God is infallible
    3. Not publishing this book until after the election constitutes a mistake
    4. But God doesn't make mistakes

    What am I missing?

    Kidding. But seriously, where is the win in publishing it after the fact? I guess it wasn't apparent 8-12 months ago that Obama would win and that the media would roll over for him this badly, still...

  2. Release the book before the election and discussion of your book is dominated by the hysterical partisans and those who pander to them. With the election over your book is forgotten. So it only pays to publish an election season book if it's a lucrative partisan hack job.

  4. p217 "he could have just ended it with him breaking down in tears" - if you were being stuffily correct that would be "with his breaking down in tears".
