2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumRepublicans Mobilize to Save Kelly Ayotte
New Hampshire Republicans have begun a pre-emptive strike this month against the strongest prospective challenger to Sen. Kelly Ayotte, targeting Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan months before shes even set to decide whether shell enter the race, National Journal reports.
The early and aggressive campaign against Hassan demonstrates how seriously they take her as a challenger. Republicans already have filed a legal request to reveal her out-of-state travel and even have gotten prospective presidential candidates to criticize her stewardship of the state. This is unusual because Hassan has yet to determine whether shell run for Senate at alland wont be deciding until the summer.

(489 posts)I'd love to see Kelly Ayotte taken out of the senate in 2016, but her losing would take a presidential landslide of epic proportions (which I'd also love to see).
She plays all media in the state like a fiddle and works double time to get back in the state and pose in as many photo-ops as she possibly can. A year from now, when they are polling on Ayotte vs. Whoever, I'm afraid she is going to be quite comfortably ahead. She may have a lead large enough that the DNC will take a pass on sending any serious money up here.
Not trying to be negative, but I believe she is going to be one of our worst opportunities to flip a senate seat.

I truly believe if she ran for President the teabaggers, the right wing conservative wack jobs & yes even some independent Women would support her...
I truly believe she is a dangerously capable puppet politician...
