Some of Sarah Palin's most ardent fans and one member of her family got together online Saturday for an event called Grizzlyfest, hoping to encourage Palin fans disappointed she isn't running for president to keep up their conservative activism going into the 2012 election. ABC News reports that a top question from disappointed Palin fans logging into the Grizzlyfest chat page was: Will Palin change her mind?

The forum at times sounded like a support group aimed at re-energizing the group who had devoted so much time to supporting Palin -- some even moving to early states to campaign for the non-candidate -- convinced she would run for president.

Palin did not participate in the event, but her brother, Chuck Heath Jr., called into the forum.

Panelist Nicole Coulter, an editor at the pro-Palin site Conservatives4Palin, asked the question that kept popping up on the event's chat page where listeners could ask questions of the panelists: Can you convince Palin to change her mind?

"I can't convince Sarah of anything," Heath said. "But I will definitely work on her."
