Kelly Ayotte’s Death Wish

I guess Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) is content to play Priscilla Barnes to Joe Lieberman’s Suzanne Somers. She is going to join Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham in every one of their press conferences calling for more belligerence and more violence on the global stage. I think it’s a bad career path. John McCain will never win another six-year term in office and Lindsey Graham will probably be primaried-out of the Republican Party next year. As for Joe Lieberman, his foreign policy views didn’t sit well in New England and he went from being the Democratic Party’s vice-presidential candidate to being a man without a political home in six short years. Why does Kelly Ayotte want to join this losers’ club?

If I had to guess, I’d say that neo-conservatives are on their way out in the Republican Party. Rand Paul is ascendant.
