LOL ! Is Sarah taking jabs at the love-lorn SC Governor?

I don't think she meant that. I didn't take it that way.
I felt her reference to a "lame-duck" and traveling around, etc. while waiting in the interim for the newly elected Governor, was very pointedly saying she had some plans and needs to do them now and didn't want to be criticized for neglecting her office.
As has been written - it's a shrewd and gutsy move. We shall see.
Others have said, like Cokie Roberts - Someone planning on a run for President wouldn't have taken the course she has taken.
We shall see.
