Any candidate can SAY they are for something, few live up to the name, 'candid'-ate. To vote for a never elected, establishment, blank slate, VaJayJay-Person for U.S. Senate just because of her plumbing is, well, a bit much. Caveat Emptor.

Look, picking a candidate based on identity is not bad unless it means conceding principles. Ayotte is pro-life, pro-gun, anti-SSM, fiscally conservative. She's also an intelligent youngish (41?) woman in a party (somewhat rightly) considered a clique of old white males. So why not put her front and center? "Optics," etc. Let's think strategically, not just ideologically. (And in Ayotte's case, ideology is no big issue, she fits the bill well enough.) Phil What’s wrong with Kelly Ayotte?
