Mitt Romney is campaigning today in New Hampshire with yet another potential vice presidential running mate. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee will be joined by US Senator Kelly Ayotte when he visits the Portsmouth Fish Pier. In some senses, the union is natural: Ayotte is the highest-ranking Republican figure in the state. But New Hampshire is also a swing state in this fall’s general election, and Ayotte is thought to be among those Romney will consider for his ticket.

Naming a female running mate may be a smart move for Romney's presidential campaign, but why would he create a candidate slate whose persons could be said to be both from the same tiny and barely countable state? Ms. Ayotte may be an attractive politician, but she is inexperienced at the national level and her major public service assets are prosecutorial.

Just take Gov Christie and get on with it.
