Maybe it is, but Scott Brown's record on the issue of "green energy",carbon emissions and credits has him talking out of both sides of his mouth: Per The Boston Globe: In 2008, he voted with the Legislature for Massachusetts to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a pact among Northeastern states requiring power plants to reduce emissions or to buy credits from cleaner industries [regional cap and trade]. "Reducing carbon dioxide emission in Massachusetts has long been a priority of mine,'' Brown said in a news release at the time. "Passing this legislation is an important step ... towards improving our environment.''

The Martha Coakley team noted Brown's flip-flop: Scott Brown is wrong to have flip-flopped on this issue,” said Corey Welford, spokesman for Martha Coakley. “In 2008, Scott Brown voted in favor of a regional climate change agreement as a way to create green technology jobs and protect our environment. Now he has reversed course to support the failed environmental and economic policies of George Bush and Dick Cheney. We just hope that he will change his mind once again to join business leaders and environmental leaders who know that protecting our environment and creating jobs can go hand in hand."

He has some RINO traits and some conservative traits.

All of which are an improvement over Coakley.

Now, once again, tell me how many elections Keyes has won, how many times he has turned back the liberal agenda, and get back to me.
