Take a look at the Barnes and Noble book sales/ratings list below.
Why is this important?
There is a decided link, I believe, between what is going on in American culture at any given moment and what that augurs for a presidential (or congressional) election. Mark Levin’s Ameritopia
is now perched atop the B&N bestseller list, as it has been at Amazon.
This is, as discussed earlier here, yet another sign that Levin’s companion book to Liberty and Tyranny has a considerable and passionately conservative audience — an audience not unlike all those people giving Newt Gingrich standing ovations at these debates. What it means is that there is a large conservative audience out there. They read — and they vote. And they are not fans of either liberalism or Obama. Which in turn says that no matter the outcome of this nomination fight, come September when the final nominee is in the ring with Obama there may well be a historic wave with one objective: defeating Obama and changing the direction of America.
Doubtless there is more to come. Meanwhile, the returns are now in from Barnes and Noble:

I bet you are also a fan of ‘oderint dum metuant’ as a foreign policy. I freely admit to gaping holes in my knowledge of classical history. Did Carthage in fact pose a threat to Rome prior to Rome moving against it?

I think the thing is that Obama should be called exactly what he is you could label him a Socialist or a Communist or a Marxist Leninist and all that implies. It is now time for the Republican Dog and Pony Show should shift from attacking each other to who has the best argument against Obama and his ideology. This is were some one should take a lead and I suspect it will be Gingrich--but other have an equal opportunity. I think Gingrich and Santorum's criticism of the MSMdealings with debates is the tip of the iceberg. We could be on the verge of such a shift in debate. I hope Gingrich and Santaorum do it now. ROMNEY ? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
