SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) The woman who met police in the hotel lobby at 1:30 a.m. waved them off a complaint of rowdy behavior and demanded in a sing-song voice to know who called them.

the problem here is the obvious abuse of power - she acted like she (and the people who were with her) are above the law
A rowdy party could even humanize her.
It's the abuse of power that will ruin her VP chances.
