Mike Pence To Decide On 2012 Presidential Run After 'Seeking Counsel' From Lord

Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) briefly addressed his potential plans to mount a 2012 presidential run Sunday, saying that he'd consider it next year, but only after "seek[ing] counsel" from the Lord.

"Well, look, we've been very humbled by the encouragement we've received back in Indiana and around the country," Pence told Christiane Amanpour on ABC's "This Week." "We're intent on taking the coming weeks to prayerfully consider that, to wait on the Lord, to seek counsel, and after the first of the year, we'll make a decision."

Pence recently stepped down from his position as GOP Conference Chair, sparking a disputed rivalry between Reps. Michele Bachmann (Minn.) and Jeb Hensarling (Texas) to determine a scion.

Though some reports from people close to the Congressman suggest that Pence is more likely to run for Governor of Indiana in 2012, others are still convinced that he will be mounting a campaign for the GOP presidential nomination instead.

Pence finished first in a straw poll gauging potential GOP candidates at the Value Voters Summit earlier this year. Former Arkansas Gov. and minister Mike Huckabee came in second in the poll, which listed "abortion, government spending, repeal of Obama's health overhaul, protection of religious liberty and national security" as the participants' primary concerns.

It seems everyone is Jesus these days.

I thought he was going to run for Gov. of Indiana .

A true Christian never wears it on his sleeve.

Jesus was adamant about not showing off when praying, fasting, or donating.

I wonder if Pence ever asked the Big Guy if He's OK with killing Arab women and children?

God says no. He told me.

He attends Community Church in Greenwood Indiana , stop by some Sunday and ask him .

There's nothing wrong with what he said. He's a Christian and he prays regularly. Good for him. Nobody should have a problem with that.

He seems to want to run for president though.

Ok. I just don't think that his religious beliefs should be considered "news." The fact that he may run for President is interesting, however.

Well , I doubt he could win the primary , but if he did get elected , at least he could put together a better staff than what is currently in the white house .

Last I checked 'Seeking Counsel' implied a two way conversation. If he can speak with God, and God speaks to him that would make him Jesus or at the very least an apostle no? I am reminded of Sinclair Lewis at these times.

Well, it's possible that he could be seeking counsel through the scriptures.

Examining the intentions of your heart in light of the Bible would be an appropriate Christian response.

Motivations such as pride and self glory might be brought to light.

very often religious people are delusional and believe they see things that don't exist.

I do not feel too delusional today and have not seen a dang thing .

How do you know he's a Christian and prays regularly? Do you know him personally? I'm not saying he's not, but some people do use Jesus for votes. Bush talked a good talk, but he was a big fake.

True, there's nothing wrong with him praying, but he doesn't need to announce it, either. Because it comes off as pandering.

Ya know, if you guys could knock off making snide remarks about other people's religions, it sure would be great.
