Red Equals Refund? Could Be for Scott Brown

Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown is facing the wrath of conservative supporters who helped him score a rare win, taking away a Democratic seat in this highly liberal state. But now, some want their money back...

Citing his vote to ratify the new START weapons treaty with Russia, and his lack of taking a hard line against liberal programs and bills in Congress, the National Republican Trust is asking he return nearly 100,000 they donated to help pay for his campaign ads.  The Trust did not give the money directly to Brown, but instead paid for dozens of TV, radio and newspaper ads supporting him.  Brown was one of the first candidates who helped launch the conservative wave months ago, that culminated in several governorships being won by conservatives, as well as the biggest turnover in Congress in history in the House Of Representatives.
