Friendly Fire: Republicans Fume at NRA's Endorsement of Democrats
http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2010/10/democrats-with-nra-endorsements-have-republicans-fuming-getting-creative.html
National Republicans are furious with the National Rifle Association, their natural ally, for endorsing 58 incumbent Democrats who support gun rights. And with Republicans aiming to win control of the House, some are promising retribution for the NRA next year.
“In about a week, the NRA will find themselves on the bad sides of a few dozen new Republican members of congress. They have put their credibility – and also that of their members – on the line for the sake of ingratiating themselves with a bunch of liberal Democrats who are about to lose, and lose badly,” said one senior GOP operative who requested anonymity to speak freely.
Republicans need to pick up 39 seats to take control of the House.
On the local level, some Republican challengers in tough races are getting creative to gloss over the NRA’s endorsement of Democrats.
