Don't worry NRA figured out what RATS were up to:

-------------

Nonetheless, Democrats accused the bulk of Republicans of kowtowing to the National Education Association (search)(LOL...NRA not NEA) after Executive Director Wayne LaPierre (search) sent a letter to GOP leaders announcing that the NRA opposed passage of the bill with its amendments and note recorded votes for future use.

"... Having made our decision, this vote on final passage is a key vote for the NRA and will be used in our future evaluations and endorsements of candidates for the U.S. Senate," LaPierre wrote.

But don't you see, Daschle will still be able to run near-endorsement ads this summer. People generally aren't newshounds and will take it at face-value. Doesn't really matter what the NRA says now. Don't get me wrong, I support the NRA, and am a lifetime member, but they messed up.
