DescriptionSenator Tim Hutchinson ... [is] ... a conservative, family-values Republican. The problem is that in 1999 Hutchinson, now 52, divorced his wife of 29 years, Donna, with whom he had three sons, and shortly afterward married a former member of his office staff, Randi Fredholm, now 39.

Many of Mr. Hutchinson's most committed supporters, the core of any strong campaign, were disturbed by his divorce and remarriage.

His poll numbers have slipped as the issue has been raised anew during this election year, though he has publicly apologized to his supporters, telling them that he remains a totally committed family-values man who has been "humbled" and "left less smug about the shortcomings of others" by the breakup of his marriage.
