New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte comes to Tampa Monday morning in the first of a multi (battleground) state tour to denounce looming defense cuts – defense cuts that many of her GOP colleagues in Congress supported last year as a way to get a deal on raising the debt ceiling.

Ayotte previewed what she'll be talking about at CAMLS in Tampa while speaking Sunday morning on CNN's State of The Union with host Candy Crowley:

"It makes me sick that some in Washington — particularly some of the Senate Democrats — want to play, and even our president, unfortunately, want to use our military as a bargaining chip," the New Hampshire Republican said.
