A serious question - should a mother or father ask the permission of their children before pursuing something? Should a father ask his children if he can join the military before fighting the WOT? I can understand talking with them and explaining your decision...but to ask permission? And make your decision based upon them granting you permission?
Right back at you.
Running for POTUS is a family affair.
Sarah Palin has a security team and deals with SERIOUS DEATH THREATS DAILY. A security teams that she pays for out of her own pocket.
Security is NOT provided until a candidate becomes the nomineee.
Her children were not 100% behind her run. They do not want to lose their Mom to a hater in the massive crowds she draws!
Think about THAT!
I think she weighed her children’s opinions but I don’t think that’s the main reason she decided not to run. She said her and Todd prayed about it and she needed to put family first. I think she really wanted to run. Sometimes the Lord puts you on a path different than the one you want to be on. She’s been very influential. She was responsible for many of our gains in the congress and tirelessly campaigned for conservatives at all levels of government. Her speeches are enthusiastic and she says what’s on everyone’s mind, not just conservatives. She will be an asset to whoever the nominee is because she draws a crowd. She speaks boldly and honestly regardless of the crap heaped at her. She can actually have more influence this way if you think about her ability to influence elections and her fearlessness.

The answer is that Palin should ask for her childrens’ opinion, and it’s very simple logic.
If a parent has promised their children to put the family first, their opinion will establish whether or not running for president is consistent with that promise.
You have no argument.
