In an interview with Eric Bolling on Fox Business Networks show Follow the Money, Palin gave the public a glimpse of whom she may give her stamp of approval: Ron Paul.

You know the endorsement that Im most interested in? Palin asked Bolling. Ron Pauls, to tell you the truth.

While she made it clear she did not agree with Pauls foreign policy, she said he was absolutely right with his stand on domestic spending issues.

Hes the one that Americans need to listen to when it comes to dealing in reality about this bankrupt path that we are on, she said.

So Ron Pauls endorsement not saying he wont get the nomination, but in case he doesnt who it is that he chooses to endorse will give us a clear in! dication of who is on the right path with domestic spending that needs to be addressed. Im very interested in hearing what Ron Paul thinks at the end of the day.

Palin is not the only conservative pundit to embrace the libertarian-leaning Texas congressmans economic views. In October, radio host Rush Limbaugh declared that Pauls economic plan can save the country.

Paul has consistently called for a major reduction in government spending, refused to raise the debt ceiling, declared he would veto any unbalanced budget, and said he would oppose unnecessary regulations on small businesses. His dedication to the free market, lower taxes, and lower spending is attractive to many conservative voters, particularly the Tea Party members. To many Republican voters who feel slighted by the 2012 GOP candidate field, Pauls consistently conservative economic policies may gain traction, especially if Palin throws her weight behind it.
