Kay Hagan, certified tree-hugger
State Sen. Kay Hagan, the Greensboro Democrat running to unseat Republican incumbent Elizabeth Dole, got here "green" credential stamped pretty indelibly last week.
As Hotline and the Hill (and others more diligent about checking their e-mail than I am) reported, Al "You Want to See my Nobel Prize" Gore has stepped in to help raise money for Hagan. From The Hotline:
Al Gore is linking up with Move On to help raise coin for three Dem Senate candidates -- Al Franken in MN, Kay Hagan in NC and Mark Udall in CO -- who the former veep believes are "clean-energy heroes."
The e-mail says, "Kay Hagan is a North Carolina state senator and a strong supporter of solar power. She pushed to require North Carolina utilities to adopt renewable energy."
