Why would one pick Deb Fischer when Kelly Ayotte comes with all the same "advantages," plus being higher-profile, more intelligent, more telegenic, and from a swing state? Not that Ayotte would be a good pick, but Fischer would be a nightmare.

Because Ayotte is up for re-election in 2016 and will likely be in a competitive election for her seat against a strong Dem like Hassan or Lynch. If she were to be selected as VP her seat would surely be lost.

If Republicans are desperate for a female running mate and Martinez, McMorris-Rodgers etc. are not available then I could see them going for her. But it would come with a big risk she has not been tested on the national stage at all and has a very conservative voting record.
