We'll see if he's still smiling when the NRA gives him a lower rating next time. Email NRA and push them that way, since they seemed to be waffling a bit.

Good call... the NRA blinked on this one, and got caught between the eyes. If they don't hit back hard, they'll be declared "ineffectual" and "no longer a consideration" for legislators by the lefties in the media.
It's interesting that the AP article in the World-Herald (which cited the Journal Star as the source, now THAT's funny) only mentioned that the NRA has threatened to "downgrade senators' ratings". No mention of why... don't want too many people to know what she actually said?..... there was no mention of the Ricci vs. New Haven decision, the "wise Latino" comment or any other issue either. Wonder why they only mentioned the NRA threat? Perhaps that's where he was getting the most blowback?
It's also interesting that three days after saying he's "thinking about it," he jumps on board. Musta got a phone call.
I'm headed off the NRA website now.

I'll be there, too, as soon as I'm done walking my dogs and washing my truck. (Not that either of those are more important!) There was an angry letter to the editor in today's LJS about Nelson (and others) not announcing their decisions soon enough for their constituents to try and change their minds if they considered the decision a mistake. I thought that was kind of silly. Give them your opinions before they make their decisions so they don't have to risk appearing like they don't know what they want should they feel like reversing themselves.
SBarry:
It looks like his decision would not make a difference in the overall vote, she is in regardless of whether Nelson votes for her or not. His vote reflects his true opinion, now we have proof that he is an idiot who does not care about his constituents, only his standing with the Dims. He is now going to get my complete and undivided attention, Game on, Ben.

Oh, and while I'm thinking about it...
...be sure and post a "comment" on the Nelson article at the Journal-Star website. I've been told that Nelson's staff reviews the "comments" Nelson stories get on the website to see what people back home are saying.
Yea, you'll have to "sign up" with a username and password, but if it's getting to his office, well... that's more than I know about the emails I send him.
