And since we now know that Palin doesn't mind, can we please talk about her orange face? Here are a few screenshots to get the discussion going:

While Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich made their final push in Florida and Rick Santorum focused on connecting with the Tea Party in Nevada, Ron Paul has been doing things his way: casually campaigning in Colorado, preparing for his 55th wedding anniversary tomorrow, and calling on the Gingrich campaign to apologize to one of his fans.

Pau, who spent two days this the week in Maine, began the day with a 10 a.m. town hall meeting in Fort Collins, another town hall in Denver, and a 2 p.m. whistle stop in Colorado Springs. He then flew to Nevada and had a "Nevada Campaign Call to Arms" in Henderson, a suburb of Las Vegas.

His campaign also took the time to demand an apology from the Gingrich campaign for its staff's treatment of a Paul supporter at an event in Florida. "They say the culture of an organization is a reflection of its top executive and today’s deplorable behavior against Ron Paul supporter Eddie Dillard in Florida reflects very poorly on Congressman Gingrich," the campaign wrote. Dillard's foot was stepped on rather aggressively.

Tomorrow is Paul's 55th wedding anniversary with his wife Carol. They'll spend it campaigning until 3 p.m., after which there are no events on the schedule. For a candidate who's in it until the convention whether he wins or loses, there's no rush.

GREENVILLE, South Carolina--Stephen Colbert's endorsement of former presidential candidate Herman Cain is paying off, at least with two voters. And in Greenville of all places -- long a conservative bastion in South Carolina.

Jodie and Andy Rodwell, a homemaker and engineer who live in Greenville, were leaving the polling station at a Baptist church when Jodie stopped to chat.

"I voted Herman Cain," she told BuzzFeed.

So did Andy. Why'd they do it?

"For Stephen Colbert," Jodie said. Neither would have considered any of the other entrants in the GOP field, they say, except Jodie was "a little tempted by Ron Paul."

"I like that he's pro-pot," she said.

When asked if they knew any other Herman Cain voters, the pair gave each other a look. "Not in our neighborhood," Jodie said.

GREENVILLE, S.C. -- The movement to legally classify a fertilized egg a "person" -- and to make abortion, legally, murder -- suffered a deep setback last year when voters in conservative Mississippi rejected it as a step too far.

But the attendance of four Republican presidential candidates last night at the Personhood USA forum in a hotel auditorium here signaled the vitality of the most ambitious wing of the anti-abortion movement, as well as the discomfort pro-life activists feel for the party's likely nominee, Mitt Romney.

Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, and Newt Gingrich all appeared in person for 20 minutes each; Ron Paul appeared on a screen, calling in from D.C. where he was voting on the latest debt ceiling increase.

The candidates answered soft questions on their abortion records from Personhood USA higher-ups and from pro-life activist Lila Rose, to frequent and loud applause from an audience that says its movement is "burgeoning."

Keith Mason, the president of Personhood USA, told BuzzFeed that the event last night was "historic. It's never happened before that a town hall meeting was so well-attended and that a town hall meeting focused specifically on life."

Mason downplayed the loss in Mississippi. "This is a movement," he said. "One skirmish, win or lose, is not going to make a difference in the whole battle. Mississippi was overall a success because we were able to raise awareness and we were able to raise a standard."

Nancy Stith, the executive director of Georgia Right to Life, said that the abortion issue comes even before the economy for voters like her. "Other things are important -- taxes, jobs -- but if you don't have the right to life, then all those other things aren't important to me. So they have to be right on that issue, and then I look at the other issues," she said.

One candidate who is not right on this issue, in the minds of personhood advocates: Mitt Romney, who has been roundly criticized by conservatives for his moderate stances on abortion as governor of Massachusetts. The event's moderators mentioned multiple times that Romney had been invited but didn't plan to attend. Later, Mason told BuzzFeed that Romney's absence "leaves question marks in a lot of folks' minds."

"It's pretty telling," said Stith.

"I think it reveals his lack of commitment to the life issue from his heart," said Karen Labarr, a board member of Georgia Right to Life.

Despite a perceived lack of support from the candidate most likely to run in the general election and a major loss in Mississippi, personhood advocates have high -- if vague -- hopes for the future of the movement.

Of personhood legislation, Stith said that "more and more states are considering it. It's gaining momentum."

"Our focus is grassroots citizens initiatives," said Mason. "We're building a movement. I think the candidates understand it and the polls show it -- that we might not have a majority in America that believes in personhood, but we're quickly moving in that direction."

The segment also served as a nice complement to one that aired on "The Daily Show" tonight and also featured Colbert, in-studio with Stewart, "not coordinating." Click here to watch it.

Here's the brilliant segment from tonight's "Daily Show" that everyone will be talking about tomorrow.
