One thing Sarah
never includes in her considering the 2012 run is the obvious fact that the media will go nuclear on her. She knows this implicitly and couldn't care less. She regrets that it (the media smears) might be tough on her kids, but she's also patently aware that there is virtually
nothing really worth having or doing that doesn't require sacrifice commensurate with the grandeur of the goal. She also knows that troubles and hurdles in youth produce strong, indefatigable adults. "It is the struggles of youth that builds strong wings." (From
"The Butterfly's Tale")
If Sarah discerns through prayer that it is God's will that she run, she'll run. If not, she won't. Period. What the disgusting imbeciles in the media will do plays no role whatsoever, nor should it.
