Mere days after Barack Obama announced Senator Joe Biden as his running mate, Biden's formerly lackluster memoir, Promises to Keep, had metamorphosized into a bestseller. Now, Promises to Keep will have another veep tome to contend with on the book charts--Sarah: How a Small Town Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment on it's Ear.

Written by Kaylene Johnson, Sarah details the extraordinary 42 year-old Sarah Palin's long-shot--and ultimately successful--candidacy for the governorship of Alaska in 2006.

Palin is not only the first female governor of Alaska, she's also the youngest in that state's history.  Add to that the fact that she's the mother of five children (one of whom is afflicted with Down's Syndrome) and you've got a dynamic VP candidate that can inject some new life into the geriatric Republican ticket and give Biden (and his book) a run for their money.
