Not once have I heard her “lecture”. She speaks passionately about the things we care about. And she evidently had 6000 people roused and enthusiastic. If you’re a Christian you’ll realize the importance of seeking God’s counsel when you’re making an important decision. The only thing that will determine her influence is her. If she gets out there the same way she has the past three years she’ll get the same enthusiasm she generated before in conservative values and candidates.

There have been times in my life when I thought I knew better than God. I took a different path than He knew I should be on. It was a disaster. We can’t possibly see as far as God so we must have faith that He knows better than us what’s right. Even if you’re extremely upset that she didn’t run try to respect that she didn’t do it to string people along or any other selfish reason (a selfish person wouldn’t put themselves through what she has) but that through prayer and discussions with her family (mostly Todd, I’m sure) she found that another path was better.

What in the world are you talking about? She lectures Obama and wavering Republicans all the time! She threatened to "primary" the new House republicans if they grew weary in the heat of the battle - the battle that she has now bowed out of.

I do, and I know she mentioned that in her statement, but in the interview she made it sound like it came down to a family vote and 2 kids voted "no", so she's not running. So which is? God told her "no"? Or 2 kids said "no"?

try to respect that she didn’t do it to string people along

Bristol said the decision was made over 100 days ago. Why did it take Sarah that long to announce the decision?
