I’m talking necessarily running for a seat.

I’m thinking along the lines of backroom.

Why would anybody give up an easy seat, with a Senator’s income and perks unless there was a better deal somewhere?

She says because it's nearly impossible to get anything done with the present situation in DC - and that is true.

She said she feels she may be able to make more of a difference - not quoting exact words here - as a private citizen.

Sometimes people can achieve more when unfettered by the restriction of elected office where you have to watch every word, every action.

I think "Sarah" has proved that - and before you all jump on me - I am NOT comparing Olympia to Sarah - just making a general observation...so take a deep breath and chill

"Better deal" is but one possibility. However, regarding the question itself:

That is the right question.
