Many of us believed Sarah was called by someone MUCH higher than McCain into the political world, and it was God’s way of telling America, “This is your last chance USA, I’m giving you a very, very clear choice, Palin vs. Obama.....CHOOSE”.

I felt the same, but maybe I was wrong. I'm considering the possibility that God called her, but that she blinked at the last moment. If she did, it's human nature. Even great figures in the Bible resisted God's call at times: Moses, Jonah, etc. They eventually came around but only after God smacked them around a bit to get their attention. Even Jesus prayed fervently that He wouldn't have to follow through on what He was called to do. I think maybe Sarah knew it would take a miracle for her to win the general election, and like Peter when walking on water, lost a little faith and faltered.

Remember the Palin family get together a few months ago when she supposedly made her decision? Bristol said her mom had made her decision, and while Sarah wasn't happy with Bristol for saying that she really didn't shoot that down. So if Sarah had decided back then not to run...why wait several months to announce that while so many supporters were waiting on pins and needles? I think perhaps Sarah decided TO run at that time, but on certain conditions and to announce at a certain time. Perhaps it was a delaying factor, and in the end Sarah just couldn't pull the trigger.

The recent book that came out on her with disgusting rumors perhaps played a part. I don't want to believe it, but maybe one or more of those stories have some merit of truth and Sarah feared more digging on those details would reveal that and embarrass her and her family further, or even cause her to drop out of the race.

It's also possible that the book coming out was God's way of telling Sarah that people are going to write and say bad things about her and her family whether she runs or not, and that by not answering His call, she would not be under His protection. If this is the case, it could be a bumpy road in the near future for Sarah and her family.

If she was called but didn't answer the call, maybe, just maybe there's a chance she will get in the race after God gets her attention.

"...just maybe there's a chance she will get in the race after God gets her attention."

Indeed, and a reminder of one of my all time favorite scripture passages, which is:

"Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying..." - Jonah 3:1

Such grace and mercy from our God, even after we disobey and are chastised.

My only other thought was that perhaps her and Todd had set out a "fleece," that if another Godly, conservative candidate was running and was electable, she would not enter the race and risk splitting the Tea Party vote, thereby handing the nomination to Mittens. The recent Cain surge would then have been interpreted as The Lord's "no."

Many thanks for your refreshing wisdom and great insight.

I disagree with most of what you posted. I think it was human nature to want to run. I think God has other plans. I believe she would have gone against what God has planned had she run.

We have entered the prophetic end times. This nation will continue a downward spiral into what will ultimately be a one world government.
