Sarah Palin: Please Vote for Romney

Eleventh-hour endorsement from the former veep candidate

In a last-minute show of support, Sarah Palin posted a Facebook note urging Republicans to back Mitt Romney.

"On Tuesday, please vote for Governor Mitt Romney and the commonsense conservatives running for office in your state," wrote the former governor of Alaska. "Governor Romney understands how the free market works...Governor Romney deserves a chance to lead. President Obama had his chance."

Palin still has a lot of influence with Tea Party voters, and her support could mobilize them to get out and vote for Romney. Her endorsement is perhaps all the stronger for being delayed so long. Previously, Palin warmly endorsed Newt Gingrich and seemed pretty lukewarm in her feelings for Romney.

I made a joke here, but I guess someone has no sense of humor and got the moderators to delete it. I even wrote into the comment that I was kidding. Sheesh! Can't we have a little levity now and then? I'm so tired of the rancor.

@Denizen_Kate no doubt. they've seemed to be pretty touchy all evening. They did that to a few other posters earlier, not sure why. I mean , one said to somebody "glad to see your sobered up" and they removed it.

@marine1 And in 25 years Sarah Palin will have to depend solely on her brains to appeal to Republicans. Good luck with that Ms. Palin.

Will Sarah's last minute appeal mobilize me? Well, before I answered, it mobilized me to the bathroom. Thus I missed being first in line to comment.

IMO if McCain had chosen Romney as VP instead of Palin, he might have actually won in 2008.

I don't think McCain helped himself. The day I voted I honestly considered Obama, but feared he would be worse than even the far right thought. He was/is. I think McCain regretted trying out for POTUS about the time the economy started melting down. If he'd been more like Palin I think he might have atleast lost gracefully.

Sorry you couldn't see the humor in a woman who was on a ticket that got smoked being spoken of as someone who was going to drive a campaign to victory 4 years later.

Whenever I hear the histrionics of Palin or Bachmann I always wonder whether the founders and wise men of so many religions, indeed our own forefathers, knew something I don't know in regard to relegating women to second class status.
Sounds like another last minute non-endorsement endorsement.

'please allow mitt Romney to win so I can seem semi relevant in the political climate even though I dislike him BC he's Mormon and wears stinky magic undergarments. If you don't vote for him though then I might as well go live in a cabin in Alaska again, and kill a deer.'- You're bff Sarah!! Go Pubs!!!
