Good point

I thought of another possible reason why Sarah decided not to run - maybe she thought she couldn't win, that the media would destroy her chances and then we would definitely have to face another Obama term. By taking herself out, she's removing any possible obstacles that she would bring to the election. That's what all the so-called conservative haters kept saying would happen, and maybe there was a bit of truth to that. I always thought we needed a strong conservative no matter what; that it wouldn't matter if it was a choice between Romney or Obama because both are so bad. But I guess there is a bigger picture, that defeating Obama really is the #1 goal here, and one of the reasons why Sarah decided not to run was that she could possibly be an obstacle for accomplishing that goal.
