Colorado recalls: NRA doles out additional $250K with Election Day a week out

[Robb]

A campaign filing report released Tuesday reveals the National Rifle Association has thrown an additional $250,000 into the recalls of Democratic Sens. John Morse and Angela Giron.

The increase of about $141,000 comes a week after the nonprofit’s special issue committee reported spending a total of about $109,000.

Between Aug. 23 and 29 the Fairfax, Va., based nonprofit doled out three large payments of $12,252 on Aug. 27; $52,904 on Aug. 28; and $187,878 on Aug. 29.

It brings the NRA’s total spending to $361,703 in the recall efforts of Morse and Giron, whose political careers are in peril for their support of stricter Colorado gun laws.

1. No doubt all the pro-control forces provided matching or superior contributions, right?

Right?

2. Unlike Bloomberg, or even the NRA, the Koch Brothers don't have to report.

Americans for Prosperity is in this, and the ad buys are huge. So there's no way to know.

...By "pro control" you mean "sending money to support Democratic candidates," right?

3. I mean the VPC and MAIG.

4. I guess I don't understand what you're asking.

Are you hoping there's been more money coming into the race for the Democrats? Because that's how it looks, although as I said there's no accounting for the Koch spending.

5. This isn't GD

I thought it was. My apologies.
