Sarah Palin's latest book tour is providing an opportunity for the world to see just how far her star has fallen.

When former Alaska governor Sarah Palin visited The Villages in 2008, more than 30,000 people turned out.

Emotions ran high for good reason—The Villages was Palin’s first public appearance since her nomination as the Republican Party’s Vice Presidential candidate.

The crowd at her book-signing engagement earlier today at Barnes & Noble was more modest—about 500.

A Barnes & Noble manager who asked not to be named wouldn’t estimate the crowd size—that’s against corporate policy—but admitted the store did not hand out all 750 arm bands on hand for the event.

That didn’t bother Villagers stood in line for upwards of two hours to shake the hand of the conservative icon and get her signature on a fresh copy of Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas.

The $13.92 price tag was modest as well.

Ouch that had to hurt!

Yep nothing like a book tour by a dried up old has been to remind people of just what a train wreck their life has become.

Perhaps Palin is beginning to feel that sense of desperation creeping up on her as her book continues to tumble down the Amazon rankings. (Now at 252, which is 20 slots below where it was this morning when I wrote my earlier post.)

And that might explain what this is all about as well.

I think we all know that the ONLY time that Palin deigns to rub shoulders with her fans is when she is becoming desperate to repair her image and fill her bank account.

Gee, I wonder how many will even bother to show?
