Now Ayotte is talking with Republican U.S. Sens. John Cornyn, Susan Collins, and Judd Gregg about running for the seat being vacated by Gregg next year. Though speculation surrounds Ayotte's ambitions, she has yet to say anything publicly on the matter.
But now Lynch's camp in joining the fray suggesting that if she does run she is going back on a promise she made just in April to complete the term through 2013.
"It was the Governor's expectation in reappointing Kelly Ayotte that she would serve her full term," said Lynch spokesman Colin Manning. "At the time of her appointment she told the Governor that was her intention."
I am extremely surprised to see the Governor's team enter the political fray here.
To me this suggests strongly that Ayotte is planning a run.
But more to the point: if she does run, this will be a key refrain to repeat - that she has broken a promise to a Governor of another party who re-appointed her.
