PoliticusUSA brings us the story:
Protestors went to Hopper's home in Fond du Lac with their recall petition. They were greeted by Hopper’s maid who was “more than pleased to sign the petition.” Protestors were also met by Hopper’s wife, who explained Hopper no longer lived at that address.
It turns out Hopper, who promotes family values, is living in Madison with his 25-year-old mistress—a lobbyist for Persuasion Partners, Inc., a right-wing lobbying firm.
Data compiled by Swing State Project, shows Hopper extremely vulnerable for recall. The Daily Kos reports:
He won reelection in 2008 by the scantest of margins (0.2%, or 163 votes out of more than 83,000 cast) in a district that broke by 4 points for Obama. His vote totals look even weaker when you consider that his Republican predecessor had run unopposed in SD 18 in 2004 and won with over 98% of the vote, and that the district had flipped from a +15R in Bush's reelection in 2004 to a +4D for Obama in 2008 (SSP again).Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
