Sarah didn’t run because her priorities were God, family, then country. So I’m wondering, should we hope for a candidate who is principled and conservative, but doesn’t have a family to worry about? Almost everyone has a family. Or should we look for a candidate willing to put God, country, THEN family first in that order? What kind of a candidate pool does that leave us with? We could be in trouble.

Very dedicated, or very cold. Your question is a serious one in political philosophy. Romans in the early and middle Republic were like that. So were the Spartans. To an extent so were the Founders, who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to the causes of separation and liberty. Hard schools, to which we do not measure up.
Hard times are coming though, and will produce hard people.

I think we pray now and try to wisely choose from our current candidates.
I feel relieved and rather selfish, that I won't be emotionally involved in the presidential race, but I will sure try my best to support our nominee, provided it's not Romney and if it's Romney then please know I am voting for SARAH PALIN.
YEP, YOU BETCHA! I AM WRITING IN HER NAME!
