Many states require a write candidate to be registered (ie actually running).
Even if your state doesn’t, voting for someone who isn’t running is pretty silly if you ask me (you didn’t but I’ll say it anyway). You may as well write in “Elmer Fudd” or not vote at all.
Their were minor conservative candidates that actually were running like Virgil Goode of the Constitution party (I’m not crazy about him) and freeper Tom Hoefling (I forget his screen name).
Palin didn’t run, had no real interest in running and isn’t gonna run next time. It’s time to move on from that fantasy. Support actual candidates.

I heard about a survey that said that about 3 million people did not vote because they would not vote for a Mormon. You do not know for certain that Sarah will run. I voted for Romney under duress and it would been better for my mental health to have voted for Sarah.
