Ayotte
-
In the Senate, Rob Portman of Ohio, Marco Rubio of Florida, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and John Thune of South Dakota commonly appear on lists of possible running mates. Scorecards that measured voting records in 2011 suggest that among these, Rubio had the most conservative voting record and Portman the most moderate. Ayotte and Thune came in somewhere in between.

Ayotte will vote against other Republicans, rejecting a Senate resolution that would prevent the federal government from limiting mercury and other toxins from power plants.
Senator Ayotte has been considered as a potential running mate for Romney.
