According to the TriCity Herald (Wash.), Sarah Palin's entry in Kennewick's Thanksgiving Day "Turkey Trot" 5k charity race for the Red Cross attracted quite a crowd. Before the race, and during, Palin greeted onlooking supporters, signed some autographs, took photos, and shook hands. Then the former governor opted not to finish the race.
