Sarah Palin left approximately 300 fans out in the cold Thursday night in Noblesville, Ind., at a signing for her new memoir, Going Rogue.  

Thousands of fans lined up at a local Borders bookstore hoping the former Alaska governor would sign their copies, but time constraints prevented her from getting to everyone.

As her tour bus pulled away, boos and chants of "Quitter!" and "Sign my book!" could be heard coming from the crowd, many of whom had been standing in the cold, rainy parking lot for more than three hours.

Jilted readers left angry messages on Palin's Facebook page; the blog Rumproast.com has a sampling:

Dawn Hatfield Ament: TOO BAD I was “Palienated” today in Noblesville. I waited SEVEN hours and never got my book signed. Only 600 of the 1000 promised wrist bands got in the door. Such a HUGE disappointment!

Greg VandenBoom: I spent majority of my day at Borders in Noblesville, Indiana waiting to get my book signed. After 8 hours in the cold and rain with my wife and 10 month old baby, I was shocked to watch Sarah get on a bus and leave without signing books for at least 400 people. Instead, we were given a sticker that had her signature printed on it! You lost quite a few supporters tonight! I know many planned to return their books.
