Michael Sullivan says Gun groups "Secretly backed him" - What that looks like

I was shocked to hear Mass Senate Candidate Mike Sullivan, whose ATF nomination was opposed by Republican Senators and almost all major gun groups say on Howie Carr yesterday that they "Secretly backed him". Really? This is what secret backing looks like in Mike Sullivan Land.
