NRA Plans Blitz Against Obama

The National Rifle Association "plans to spend about $40 million on this year's presidential campaign, with $15 million of that devoted to portraying Sen. Barack Obama as a threat to the Second Amendment rights upheld last week by the Supreme Court," according to Politico.

"The politically powerful gun rights group will split its message efforts between communicating with its 4 million members and the tens of millions more firearms owners across the country."

So far, a USA Today analysis shows outside groups "have spent more than $25 million since Jan. 1, 2007, on independent expenditures, and more than 70% has gone toward Democratic candidates."
