NH-Sen: Ayotte Loses Joe the Plumber Vote

by: Dean Barker

Tue Feb 16, 2010 at 21:23:52 PM EST


John McCain ended up with the worst vote percentage for a Republican presidential nominee in New Hampshire since Bob Dole in 1996 (and to be fair to Dole, remember that Ross Perot was a viable third party candidate that year).

But he's back in March to stump for Kelly Ayotte.

This makes perfect sense. John McCain went from being something of a maverick in yesteryear to the embodiment of the ideological, obstructionist, establishment GOP of today.  He is also perhaps the World's Biggest Villager. And the Ayotte candidacy is helpless without Village assistance.

And doesn't he have his own political future to worry about?

wow (4.00 / 2)
McCain and Santorum! Kelly Ayotte is really attracting the up-and-comers of the GOP.
 

McCain: the man who gave us Sarah Palin (4.00 / 1)
Is now giving us Kelly Ayotte!

But Kelly is no Sarah - I'm sure Ayotte can name the newspapers she reads.
