Sen. Ayotte Endorses Romney; Becomes Possible VP for Him
New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte announced that she backs Mitt Romney in the GOP Republican 2012 race for presidency. In an email, she emphasized Romney’s ability to successfully overcome Barack Obama in the 2012 election. Ayotte also believes that Romney will be able to carry the American country through these dark times involving al-Qaeda and other Islamist groups. She states that “…we need Governor Romney’s strong steady leadership to vigorously protect American interests.”
Mitt Romney has considered her as one of his possibilities for vice president if he wins the GOP ticket probably as a result of Ayotte’s recently announced backing of him. However, Ayotte says that Romney should consider Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez. When asked about her view of Mitt Romney, she responded, “[Romney] is the person who can lead our country, change the direction, bring those conservative principles that we need to the White House, and most importantly make sure that Barack Obama is a one-term president.”
Considering that I do not know much about NH Sen. Kelly Ayotte, I am not sure if this would be a good move for Romney. However, I am also unsure if I would vote for Mitt Romney.
