While stopping short of a full-fledged endorsement, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said that were she voting in South Carolina, she’d cast a ballot for Newt Gingrich.

Palin, during an appearance on Fox News’s “Hannity,” argued that the Republican race should continue so that it would help sharpen the eventual nominee, and she praised Gingrich’s Monday debate performance.
From the sounds of it, it doesn’t seem as though Palin will be formally backing Gingrich or doing any of the things typically associated with endorsements, such as appearing in campaign rallies. But Palin’s words could provide a boost to Gingrich as he seeks to consolidate support as the anti-Romney candidate, which is being spread among him, Rick Santorum and Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
No surprise that the Gingrich campaign quickly posted the video to its YouTube page.
