Sarah Palin to Pick Up a Pen?

Some are estimating that governor Sarah Palin could make as much as $7 million to put her thoughts to paper in a book. This huge total is just $3 million shy of the sum Bill Clinton received for his 2001 tome. Clinton’s staggering paycheck was the largest ever awarded a former president for a book deal.

Currently, paparazzi are chasing Palin and snapping her pic at every opportunity. Some say these pictures could go for as little as $300, but others say a Palin shot could fetch something in the five-figure range.

Palin drew attention early for her folksy charm and homespun catchphrases. Her party did not win the election, but Palin seems to have won her place in the public eye. With reports of a possible pundit spot, a talk show gig and now a multi-million-dollar book deal, Palin’s future looks bright - and highly, highly public.
