Read the whole article at the link. The political calculations behind why or why not the NRA may or may not support Reid don't fit on a bumper sticker.

There is also another piece on this here: Is endorsing Reid on the NRA's calendar?

Bottom line: This issue is nowhere as clear-cut as we'd like. And the NRA hasn't done anything yet, so stop jumping to conclusions.

The NRA hasn't done anything WHAT?

Tom Gresham came close to apologizing for this on his radio show yesterday. The rationale is that Reid is a devil we can do business with, whereas Chuckie Schumer (or Turban Durbin) are devils we can't.

This has happened before - Toomey / Specter, Coburn / Carson, and now Angle / Reid. It's just a matter of who's scratching whom's back.

I can smell something coming out of Washington from all the way out here in northeastern Oklahoma.

the issue is very clear cut. Reid is bad for the country. His record in the senate has done considerable damage to the country. He should go. Same for chuckie and turbin. If we can only get one at a time, so be it.

You’re right... the NRA hasn’t done anything yet. The problem is in what they might do though. We need to keep on their case to make sure they don’t do the wrong thing. They’re politicians, just like Reid and McCain, and they need the same sort of ‘guidance.’
