'Conservative': Sarah Palin changes Facebook profile

Days after announcing that she will not be joining the American presidential race next year, US glamorous politician Sarah Palin has changed her 'Facebook' profile from "Republican" to "Conservative".

Known as a staunch Republican, the 47-year-old ex-Alaskan governor had on October 5 announced that she wouldn't seek the Republican US presidential nomination in 2012. "When we serve, we devote ourselves to God, family and country. My decision maintains this order," she said in a letter to supporters.

Now, Palin, the Republican nominee for US vice president in 2008 poll, has nailed her political colours to the mast and changed her social networking website Facebook's profile from "Republican" to "Conservative".

The move on the "political views" section of her page has left political commentators struggling to decipher what the the former Alaska governor is trying to say.
