The Next Sarah Palin?

Kelly Ayotte, New Hampshire’s GOP rising star, is a folksy, gun-loving mother of two who has her eyes on a Senate seat. And, you betcha, she married a dude who puts Todd to shame.

[Lou Budvis]

Even if SP never makes it to the White House, she'll have opened the door for many great conservative women.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

There is only one Sarah Palin, and her name is Sarah Palin.

(Lame 'Fight Club' joke)

[SolidWood]

Prepare for her to be Alinskyied.

[geologist]

It will be a great thing if the Republicans can get several conservatives into powerful offices.

True constitution loving conservatives. If we do not ... find them or if God does not provide them as a choice ... we can kiss America and the life we have known goodbye.

God help us in our day, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

Kelly Ayotte

Without a picture of her it is hard for me to judge!

[ErnBatavia]

or Joe the Plumbered...

[GOPsterinMA]

Right on!

If Ms. Ayotte wins, she can be my defacto US Senator. I might have to throw a few $$$ her way.

[stockpirate]

I agree there is only one Sarah.

[Twofortea]

The Democrats compare her to Palin. They actually ran an ad calling her and Palin “Two of a kind”

That seems like a weird move... It more like a positive than a negative, and without the ad, she would probably still be an unknown figure.

GO DEMS!

The author cites an unfavorable comparison of Todd P. in her headline but I found no mention of him or Ayotte’s spouse in the text. Hmmmmmm!

[steve-b]

The anti-gambling stance mentioned in the article sounds the “just another big-government RINO” alarm....

[IbJensen]

Only one Sarah Palin for sure!

Who would trust a candidate from a state that has turned over the reins to Democrats and other assorted socialists who have moved into NH and poisoned the well?

[ansel12]

The subject of the article may be fine but the writer is lousy and lazy and a little nasty for no reason, being foul to people that have nothing to do with the story unless it is meant to be another excuse to throw insults at Governor Palin and her family.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Typical Democrats - how is resigning from her job as AG putting her political career ahead of the public? Would they prefer she runs and does her AG duties? They would have highlighted that too, probably filed ethics charges against her.

I’ve seen Kelly Ayotte on a few occasions here in Concord, NH, on Main St. outside the State House. She’s not in Sarah Palin’s league looks-wise (who is?), but she’s very smart and acceptably conservative, by all accounts.

[Concho]

Liz the author is just jealous because she is uglier than a mud fence, therefore she finds need to bash palin. Ayotte isnt in Palins league, but who knows?, maybe she would make someone a good vice president......

[constitutiongirl]

pg. 2...He’s a guardsman, Iraq vet and started a landscaping/snow removal company. Oh yeah, the author mentioned he doesn’t have any of Todd’s “separatist tendencies”.

[freekitty]

Where’s a picture of her husband?

[LADY J]

We need to get behind ALL CONSERVATIVES who are willing to serve.

The National Republican Party had better pay attention to it's base - at their own peril. WE will pick & support our own candidates.

NO MORE RHINOS!!

I hope Sarah campaigns for her!
