DescriptionAfter declining to tell a CNN reporter who she voted for in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, Sarah Palin told Fox Business Network Tuesday evening that she had cast a ballot for Newt Gingrich at her caucus site in Wasilla, Alaska.

"I have appreciated what he has stood for, stood boldly for," she said. "He has been the underdog in many of these primary races and these caucuses and I've respected what he has stood for...my preference tonight was for the cheerful one." (Gingrich chose "cheerful" when asked to describe himself in one word at a recent presidential debate.)

Palin said her husband Todd, who accompanied her to the caucus site, declined to vote because he is an independent. Todd Palin has previously endorsed Gingrich.
