Democrat Sen. Tammy Baldwin’s Smear Blows Up in Her Face as Opponent Brings Receipts to Debate

In one of the most memorable moments of the debate between Wisconsin Democrat Senator Tammy Baldwin and Republican challenger Eric Hovde, Hovde confronted her claim that he’s a carpetbagger who lives in California head on. 

“Every single one of her ads has been false. So, Senator Baldwin, you claim I live in California, and that I’m not a Wisconsinite - even though, as I said, I live in the neighborhood you grew up. You know, there’s such a thing as a way to prove it. It’s called a utility bill.”

“I have my utility bill,” he said as he pulled a copy out of her pocket. “Let’s get ‘em for the last ten years and see who actually lived in this state” - he continued as a moderator cut him off. 

The race between Baldwin and Hovde has been tightening as election day approaches. Back in August Baldwin had a nearly 7-point lead against Hovde in the RealClearPolitics average of polls, which has since shrunk to a 2.5 lead, its lowest point yet.
