Sarah Palin waits until eve of election to finally endorse Romney and Ryan... via Facebook

Palin told her Facebook friends to vote for 'commonsense conservatives'
Former Alaskan governor slammed Obama for his 'failures and broken promises'
Sarah Palin held off until the eve of the 2012 presidential election to reveal that she had decided to back Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan for the White House.

The former Alaskan governor posted a lengthy message on Facebook detailing the reasons as to why she was behind the Republican candidates - and it was mostly a negative assessment of Obama's past four years.

She wrote: 'On Tuesday, please vote for Governor Mitt Romney and the commonsense conservatives running for office in your states.'

Following her failed run for vice president alongside John McCain in 2008, Palin has been a vocal commentator on the race - but has stopped short of endorsing a candidate.

At the primaries stage, she gave her vote to Republican hopeful and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

In the 19-paragraph message posted on Monday, Palin launched a scathing attack on President Obama, where she wrote: 'In 2008, Barack Obama promised to fundamentally transform America.

'And for all his failures and broken promises, that’s the one thing he has delivered on. He’s transformed us from a nation of hope to one of anxiety. It doesn’t have to be this way.'

Almost 48,000 people 'liked' Palin's message on her Facebook page and it was shared close to 4,000 times.

Before now, Palin had not formally endorsed a candidate but her political action committee last week donated $5,000 to Romney's campaign.
