http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN2314845820101123NEW YORK, Nov 23 (Reuters) - If seeing Sarah Palin as a cable television pundit and a reality show star has Americans wondering who she is, her new book makes her case that she is not just a celebrity but a politician -- one with what clearly sounds like plans for a White House run.
In "America by Heart," published on Tuesday by HarperCollins, the former Alaska governor aligns herself with the Tea Party movement and takes shots at both Democrats and Republicans. Without saying if she will run for president in 2012, she states her positions in a manner not unlike a campaign platform.
She believes federal taxes are a Washington "power grab" which should abolished, wants prayers allowed in schools and wants to overturn what President Barack Obama sees as his biggest legislative achievement -- healthcare reform.
"The reason for books like this is to lay the groundwork for a potential presidential candidacy," said Thomas Schwartz, history professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
