We knew all along about clandestine conservative big-money assists, Republicans themselves (including large numbers of conservative cross voters), and conservative journalists posing as insurgent left voices. And now, of course, we know Russia was big in it too.
The battle for power is huge, so they're ALL still extremely active. Nothing new here.
Except that America is waking up to what's going on.

I remember thinking how stupid it is to point out that he has a favorable rating from the NRA in a state like Ohio. Our governor before republican John Kasich was Ted Strickland, another pro-gun democrat with a four star rating from the Buckeye Gun Owners Assn.
Regardless the convictions of some on the left, no politician has ever been harmed in Ohio by aligning themselves with sportsmen, and this ad will only endear Cordray to fence sitters who see Mike DeWine as the little weasel he so closely resembles.
However...
Watch how when it comes down to the wire in November and the NRA throws everything behind republican Mike DeWine and labels Cordray as a liberal gun grabber. I'd bet $50 on it because they did the same to Strickland to endorse Kasich in 2010. While both were congressmen in the '90s, Strickland voted against the assault rifle ban, while Kasich helped write the bill.
That finally proved to me that the NRA has become an official arm of the GOP first, and an advocate for the 2nd amendment second. Pun intended.
Just in case someone thinks I'm exaggerating, that's DeWine on the left. This is the pic he uses on his Facebook page:

Nan Whaley has really rebuilt the town from total collapse 10 years ago. But all around is Republican. I worked the polls for years so can assure you of that.
She was in the running until Cordray came back. Mike Turner has a woman running against him.
All from republicons.
