You weren’t here last year. The Palin supporters here were rabid dogs going after *ANYONE* that didn’t profess an undying worship at her altar.
If you tried to explain that she hadn’t formed any state campaigns or hadn’t tried to gather any signatures to get on the ballot... you, quite literally, ran the risk of getting banned. And her supporters frequently pings the administrators to do just that.
They were CONVINCED she would run and were *VERY* nasty about the other candidates.
So what. I was here but not posting at the time. For you to state there were *JUST* 2 reasons that gave us Romney and for one to be Palin and to call Palin supporters nasty AND "worshipping at her altar" and deluded fools just shows your bias.
There was plenty of time to get around one candidate. Palin announced in October. Reagan didn't announce until Novemeber. It wasn't Palin's fault there weren't any one candidate people would rally around and when they did they got carpet bombed and lost interest. This isn't Palin's or Palin's supporters fault. Palin is not even a top reason let alone one of the only two. If you wanted to be fair and not just take shots at Palin and Palin supporters you would have stated it was the $$$$ and attacks by Romney.
