For Gingrich, an Endorsement of Sorts From Sarah Palin.

Ms. Palin, the former Alaska governor who ran for vice-president in in 2008, said that if she were a South Carolinian, “I would vote for Newt” in the state’s primary four days away.

The Gingrich campaign instantly posted video of the endorsement, which Ms. Palin made in an interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News that aired at 9 p.m.

Ms. Palin said that in her view, Mr. Gingrich won Monday’s debate in Myrtle Beach, S.C. She hedged her praise somewhat by suggesting she was going with Mr. Gingrich to prolong the Republican contest — in other words, to head off the inevitability of Mitt Romney’s coronation should he win handily in South Carolina. She said that a longer race meant more debates and more vetting of candidates, something that did not occur as it should have, in her view, with President Obama.

her and Romney. they don't really like each other and have at times done things to take attention away from the other.

the good thing about that is we might not hear much from her with Romney as the nominee. but then again she loves attention so she will find some way to get out there.

She figures she and Newtie will be able to double up on a book tour to boost sales of both their books.

Who can forget her magical endorsement of Joe Miller, who lost as a GOP candidate in a GOP state -- lost to a write in. YEAH! You go Sarah! No really, just GO.....

...that the Republican field might not yet be set. She'll pipe in with her inane endorsements until she decides to jump in the race. When Perry finally sinks, Palin will jump in the water.
