I read Benen's analysis to suggest that she had been offered a very prominent position with one of the proposed centrist third party groups, perhaps the No Labels group and had to decide right away. That, as "outside congress", gave her a place to lobby for less partisanship. I gather it's extremely uncharacteristic of her not to care for her staff, thus it's quite surprising that she had not let them in on it. Particularly since I gather she had been positioning herself further to the right and had successfully both gotten rid of her principal appointment to her right and raised a lot of campaign money.
