Not once have I heard her “lecture”.

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.

If you’re a Christian you’ll realize the importance of seeking God’s counsel when you’re making an important decision.

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?

Yes but we all want to “lecture” them. She doesn’t lecture to US and speaks about things we’d all like to say to those “representing” us.

Well everything I’ve heard has said she prayed about it a great deal. Since the order of her life is God, family, country and knowing how devout she is, God is most important. Of course she discussed with her family. 2 wanted her to run and 2 didn’t. However, they’ve been raised to understand the importance of service and sacrifice so had her prayerful decision be to run, I’m sure they would’ve accepted it.

I have no idea when Bristol said that. I know months ago she was asked what she was going to do and she said something about “helping her mother get elected”. But Sarah was asked about it and she said no they hadn’t decided and said, “what happens on the boat, stays on the boat.”

I don’t know if you have teenagers but they don’t always know what they’re talking about. Sometimes they hear only what they want. The family could’ve casually been talking about how “cool” it would be if mom were president. Todd and Sarah could simply have been discussing what life would be like if Sarah was president. Heck, she may just have really wanted her mom to run and let her mouth get ahead of her brain.
