NH Republicans say Ayotte bad choice for vice president

Republican leaders who know Sen. Kelly Ayotte the best — those in her home state — say she would not be a good vice presidential selection for Mitt Romney.

Patch asked 101 influential New Hampshire GOP activists who they think Romney should pick his running mate and not one named Ayotte.

Over half of the 46 Republican leaders who responded to the nonscientific survey said they completely or somewhat disagree that Ayotte would be a good choice. 

Several of those responding said Ayotte would be a bad pick due to her lack of national experience, including one wag who went so far as to call her “Dan Quayle revisited.” Ouch.
