The National Rifle Association on Tuesday said it's launching a $1.3 million television ad campaign to promote Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Cotton's bid to unseat Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor, a little over a year after the group ran radio ads defending Pryor's record on guns.
The NRA said the 30-second spot will begin running in Little Rock and Jonesboro starting Wednesday and will run for at least four weeks. The ad touts the group's endorsement of Cotton and doesn't mention Pryor. The group is also spending six figures to run radio ads in the state and has been sending direct mail pieces promoting Cotton's bid, spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said.

Yes!
I love the NRA adds I’ve been seeing lately.
I don't care how conservative he is, the brand is damaged.

Excellent!
how conservative is Cotton?
Excellent! Cotton is ahead in the latest polls.
Problem is he’s just playing the game.Once he’s in he will revert to the status quo.
He represents Arkansas’s fourth district. He does have a voting record you could check out instead of guessing what he might do.
I hope polyester gets equal time...
“Problem is he’s just playing the game.Once he’s in he will revert to the status quo.”
You know this because why?
He’s a Steve King anti-amnesty pro-neocon type candidate.
The crowd of 200-plus Republicans took notice. From the start, Cotton’s message was a contrast with Ryan’s. He sliced into the Senate’s immigration bill and dismissed the idea of a compromise. He urged Republicans to oppose a conference with the Senate, and warned that any formal negotiations with the upper chamber would lead to disaster. He then turned to Speaker John Boehner, who was standing nearby, and advised him to tread carefully. For a moment, they engaged in a terse back-and-forth.
“We are not worlds apart from the Senate, we are galaxies apart,” Cotton told the speaker. Boehner responded that Cotton shouldn’t worry. “We’re not going to conference until we’re ready,” he said.

“Some of the top players hardly know him. “Who?” asks Democrat Luis Gutiérrez of Illinois, a leading member of the House’s working group on immigration, when I mention Cotton. He says he doesn’t follow internal Republican dynamics. “I don’t even know what state he’s from,” he says.”
I am a lot more worried
about North Carolina.
