Campaign '08 Complete Coverage

The National Rifle Association is endorsing Republican presidential nominee John McCain.

NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre announced the endorsement Thursday. LaPierre and the chairman of the NRA's political action committee were making stops in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Colorado and Nevada to talk about the move.

The endorsement comes despite differences between the gun-rights lobby and McCain on campaign finance restrictions and gun show rules. But LaPierre says the two agree on many more issues important to the group.

The NRA's Political Victory Fund has spent more than $2.3 million opposing Democratic nominee Barack Obama.
