Were she able to vote in South Carolina on Saturday, her vote would go to Newt Gingrich.
This is no surprise to me. I've been anticipating her to back Newt Gingrich, given his solutions to save and restore our Republic, which are very much like hers.
Newt Gingrich put a lot of thought and work into his preparation for running. His isn't a vanity run.
He was leading national and state polls before Romney and Paul went scorched earth on him in Iowa, and but for those vicious ads, Santorum wouldn't be in this race right now, so let's be serious. Sarah Palin isn't politically naive. She was nearly destroyed by similar vicious attacks. She knows politics better than all of us put together, and she obviously admires and likes Newt Gingrich very much for the very same reasons his supporters do here.
She wants the process to continue! She is unwilling to see Romney win without further vetting.
Remember, Sarah Palin was the first one to suggest that Romney needed to show his inome tax returns!
NO ROMNEY!
GO NEWT!!!!
If she were endorsing Newt, then she would have come out and said, "I'm endorsing Newt." But she didn't, and she's not.
