TALLAHASSEE — Sarah Palin endorsed former Hillsborough prosecutor Pam Bondi for attorney general Wednesday, and Bondi didn't even know it was coming.

Palin's surprise endorsement in the three-way Republican primary for attorney general surfaced on Facebook, and Bondi rushed to spread the word ahead of Tuesday's primary.

The former vice-presidential candidate and ex-Alaska governor, who's expected to seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, threw her support to other candidates, all women, in state and local contests in Alabama, Indiana, Missouri and North Carolina.

Palin called Bondi and an attorney general candidate in Iowa "bold, sharp, selfless women who will respect our Constitution, defend their states, protect our rights and push back against any overreach of the federal government."
