I would imagine the Fred Thompson supporters would disagree with you. But regardless, losing the only conservative you knew for non-exposure, and having no other conservative running, certainly sounds like a real problem; what's the point of an election if you can't get anybody you like to even run for the office?
You can bury your head in the sand and pretend that conservatives had nothing to do with a conservative candidate not existing. Whose fault is it that conservatives didn't support Hunter? Did the liberals brainwash all the conservatives? Was it magic or something?
Whose fault do you think it was, if you want to wash your hands of the blame?
Since I support Sarah Palin, it seems rather absurd for you to claim I am "here" because I don't.
