Ayotte's a decent candidate, but she certainly won't make the race Lean R lol. She has a tendency to alienate and piss off all parts of the ideological spectrum, as was evident during her time as a Senator, and Craig is pretty strong. The race is a Tossup if it's between those two, but I'd give Craig the edge.
I really don't get the hype about Ayotte. She last won an election 13 years ago and her social conservatism will cost her.
Also, this. Her record on abortion, especially, is going to weigh her down.
