Webb earns "A" rating from NRA

[Virginian87]

Yet another reason to support this great American.  Allen did score an A+, though.  Big whoop, I still like seeing Democrats win high ratings from this organization.

Same page shows that they gave Allen an "A+".

Wow, Andrew Coumo got an F-.

I was a bit surprised to see that Tom Davis got a D.  I wonder what their grading scale is.

[WalterMitty]

is this something to be proud of?

good gosh, virginian87, you are a student at columbia.  dont act like such a dullard.

im sure id get an 'f' from the nra...and id be proud of that.

I'd prefer a C.  I don't fully support what they stand for.

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Actually I think they only give out A/B/C/D/F scores to candidates, the plusses and minuses are for current officeholders.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Martha Rainville and Peter Welch both got an A, very odd.

The NRA endorsed Nick Lampson

Are those who's names appear in red being endorsed by the NRA?

I personally think the NRA was being generous with some of their ratings. A lot of the candidates that were given "A"s were not what I would call pro-gun.

Rick Perry got an A+, so am I to assume you'll be voting for him now?

Interestingly, Ron Paul only got a B.....

A perfect example of what I meant, quite generous of the NRA.

I am actually rather peeved. Almost every race that pertains to me, they failed to rate completely.

why do you take pride in hating freedom?

Anyways-the NRA's grading scale is severely flawed.  Gun Owners of America seem to have the grades down better.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Their ratings in my races:

Senate:

(R) MARK KENNEDY A
(D) AMY KLOBUCHAR F

No suprise there.

Governor:

(R) *TIM PAWLENTY A
(D) MIKE HATCH   B-

I assume Hatch supports concealed carry. He's playing it smart.

Secretary of State:

(R) *MARY KIFFMEYER A
(D) MARK RITCHIE ?

I don't see what this job has to do with guns anyway.

Attorney General:

(R) JEFF JOHNSON A
(D) LORI SWANSON B+

Strange, I would've taken Swanson to be an anti-gunner. Well she's playing it smart.

House District 1:

(R) *GIL GUTKNECHT A
(D) TIM WALZ A

Gutknecht still gets the endorsement, but Walz is being smart.

State Senate 23:

(R) MARK PIEPHO   A
(D) KATHY SHERAN C

Sheran's a bit more pro-gun than I expected, but it's not a big issue here anyway.

State House 23B:

(R) LUKE ROBINSON A
(D) KATHY BRYNAERT F

Just what I expected. But it's not a rural district, so no problems.

I think so.

If so, then the NRA are a load of ol' hacks. There are a number of races I've noticed where Democrats, as well as Republicans score A ratings, yet guess who, invariably, gets the nod?

Pro-gun rights Democrats are as worthy of their endorsement as pro-gun rights Republicans or, at least, in races where the Democratic candidate and the Republican candidate are levelly-high, then they should jointly-endorse both

I'd like this organization more, if in races where Democratic candidates and Republican candidates, who score an equally high rating, were jointly endorsed by the NRA
