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. So why are Democrats spooked by a 41-year-old attorney general from New Hampshire? Maybe it’s because they’re worried Ayotte, with her budding star power and folksy charm, might actually be another Sarah Palin, a star who rockets out of nowhere. With the national GOP desperate to replace outgoing Sen. Judd Gregg with a Republican—and desperate for any Senate victory, for that matter—Ayotte may prove to be the party’s best prospect.I don’t mean to piss downstream (or maybe I do), but some of us aren’t ready to believe the liberal polling and declare Sarah Palin D.O.A. If I were Kelly Ayotte, I would be quite suspicious of those who are already adjusting their sights on me this early. Calling Kelly the next “Sarah” sounds more like a warning. And anyone who dances better than Karl Rove is the frontrunner in my book.
