So that seems to be the decision rule: if they're at least OK and an incumbent, they get the endorsement. The stronger guns rights group is GOA. Baron is up to a B this year (from C in 2006). Mike is still at an A. I backed down from an A+ to an A this time. The NRA has endorsed Hill as an incumbent and Sodrel as an incumbent.

I understand the political realities of such but you can't argue for years that somebody is opposed to your agenda, and then endorse them just because of concern over whether or not third parties are viable. If that is the case, they should just not endorse anyone. The NRA railed against John McCain for years and then endorsed him instead of Bob Barr this past week.
