This last minute endorsement makes me wonder why she even did it all?
Keep in mind that the first thing Newt did after dropping out was to call Romney and offer “to help in any way he could.” He and Santorum then went out and worked for Romney.
And Sarah? She offers a half hearted endorsement with less than 24 hours to go before the election is decided.
Palin has clearly and formally supported Romney since he won the nomination, as a conservative she has maintained a certain amount of distance, which is called for.
Romney and his Rockefeller wing of the GOP did snub her and the tea party at the convention.

Congratulations to Mitt Romney on his choice of Congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate. President Obama has declared that this election is about “two fundamentally different visions” for America. Goodness, he’s got that right. Our country cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama’s fundamentally flawed vision. We must now look to this new team, the Romney/Ryan ticket, to provide an alternate vision of an America that is fiscally responsible, strong, and prosperous – an America that understands and is proud of her exceptional place in the world and will respect those who fight to secure that exceptionalism, which includes keeping our promises to our veterans.

Please continue to focus on the presidential race and on helping Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, but it’s also imperative that we get involved in the nation’s important House and Senate races. These candidates need our help to ensure that our next president has a responsible and ethical Congress that actually gets things done for America. Now on to November!””*
