Is that the whine now? There was never any indication she would run. You had over a year to make your decision. That you waited for Palin is your own fault, and you should own up to that.

I didn't need to make a decision. Our state had no influence over the Republican primary process.

It is merely my observation from afar. That Palin took so long to announce that she was not going to run meant that her many supporters ( and she knew of their existence) did not organize around another candidate.

It's not a whine. It's an observation.
