Meet with the managers of whom you are most impressed with their track records. Make sure they are of the same philosophy you are. You need to be on the same page philosophically in order for him or her to promote you, your values and beliefs. Ask where they personally are on the issues of most importance to you. Find out how far they would go to win. Do not pick someone who would trade your good name and/or future in order to place a "win" on their resume.

Tips & Warnings
Check them out with their former clients. Ask what their strengths and weaknesses are. Ask about their level of loyalty.
Do not hire someone who had rather win that represent you well. Choose someone who win or lose, would be honorable and represent you well. Remember, your life goes on either way. You want someone who will run your campaign in a winning way in more ways than one, whether you fail or succeed. Hopefully you will succeed. Be able to win humbly and if necessary lose graciously.
