https://www.pressherald.com/2018/06/06/nra-dispenses-a-grades-to-all-republicans-and-flunks-all-democratics-in-maine-governors-race-the-influential-pro-gun-rights-group-has-issued-new-ratings-for-all-candidates-in-the-governors-ra/The National Rifle Association has given all seven Democratic candidates in the race to be Maines next governor an F grade on their election year scorecard, while awarding all four Republicans in the race an A grade.
Only one Republican, state Sen. Garrett Mason of Lisbon Falls, received the national pro-gun groups top grade of A+. Another Republican candidate and legislator, Maine House Minority Leader Ken Fredette of Newport, received an A grade.
The other two Republican candidates, Mary Mayhew, a former commissioner of the Department of Health and Human Services from South China, and Shawn Moody, a Gorham businessman and entrepreneur, received an AQ grade, signifying that they are pro-gun candidates but do not have voting record on Second Amendment legislation.
The grades are issued by the NRAs political arm, the NRA-Political Victory Fund and come just about a week before Maine voters head to the polls to select their respective partys candidates.

Time was the NRA endorsement was supposed to carry some weight, and pushed some candidates over the finish line to victory. Let's see if we can make the NRA's endorsement as desirable as the Klan's. Beating NRA endorsed candidates, particularly when the NRA rates the opponent an "F," chips away at their mantle of invincibility.
