Going once, going twice...?

The bidding on Governor Murkowski's jet has closed on eBay... and no one bid the 2-point-5 million dollars the state was asking.

If the state had sold had 1-point-9 million dollars (the high bid) would it have been better to get rid of the jet and be 600-thousand in the red? Or would it be better to keep the jet if it can't be sold? Is either political palatable for the Palin administration?

So what now for the state? Re-bid with a lower reserve? Find another way of selling it? Keep it?
