Former U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte is running for governor of New Hampshire, but Massachusetts seems to be the focus of her nascent gubernatorial campaign. Since she announced her candidacy late last month, Ayotte has warned repeatedly that her state is just “one election away” from becoming ours, and cited a number of ways in which she thinks that catastrophic convergence could occur.

Adam Reilly evaluates the upside and risks of Ayotte's strategy with Lylah Alphonse of Boston Globe New Hampshire and Jennifer Horn, a former chair of the New Hampshire GOP.
