Rethugs Paying Price for Backing NRA

There are some interesting polls out there confirming the fact that several Rethug Senators are feeling the heat after voting against background checks for gun sales.  Among the Rethugs seeing double-digit drops in their approval ratings are Sens. Ayotte (NH), Flake (AZ), Murkowski (AK) and Portman (OH).  Alternatively, Rethug Sen. Pat "Sock It" Toomey (PA) has seen an increase in his popularity following his co-sponsorship of the background check legislation.

Gone were the days when the National Rifle Rampage Association went unchallenged in TV ads and political contributions;  several well-funded efforts that were launched after Sandy Hook are aggressively pushing back and taking the initiative to show up the craven, cowardly Senators who sided with the NRA over the vast majority of voters.  The best part is, they're not going away.
