Chapman and Kinder reconnected earlier this year when Kinder showed up at Verlin's, a St. Louis bar that features bartenders who don't wear pants. Chapman, who was working at the bar, tells Riverfront Times managing editor Sarah Fenske that Kinder invited her to move into a condominium in St. Louis that he uses. (She declined.) Campaign-finance records show that Kinder's campaign fund pays for the condo.
Kinder is 56 and has never been married. His permanent residence is in Cape Girardeau. Earlier this year, he got into trouble for billing taxpayers for hotel stays that stretched the definition of official state business. His campaign is paying $1,555 a month for the St. Louis condo, according to records.
Kinder is Gov. Jay Nixon's presumptive Republican challenger in the 2012 election. His fitness for the state's highest office was in question well before Chapman came forward with her claims that he's the kind of strip-club patron who doesn't understand boundaries.

Kinder has always been bankrolled by big money. After watching him smear a good man like Sam Page in the last election, I can't say I am sorry to see this break. How funny to watch him whine about it all being some sort of conspiracy theory. Yeah, Pete. I am sure you were just sitting there minding your own business when Jay Nixon dropped that stripper in your lap. Just man up to it and stop insulting our intelligence. No one would care about your predilection for strippers if you weren't the "family values" guy.
I remember meeting him a few years back. Of all the senators and congressmen I felt he was one of the few that was actually good and cared about his people. Not sure how he's been as Lt. Gov., (I no longer live in MO). If he's so horrible as she says - doesn't know boundaries, etc., why did you want a picture with him!?
Just goes to show republicans are really "the hard up sexually represed bastards" that they hate and pass laws on/for except they dont see themselves in the true light of what they really are....HIPOCRITES
No wonder any GOP looser with a hardon for hate'n others not like them will get the vote/money from the rest of the haters just like them!
Wait! You're sayin' Pete Kinder is a heterosexual (albeit one with attrocious taste)?
So if you donate to his campaign you might be paying the future rent of his next strip club girl? Who is gonna give him money knowing that?
And this where I money they take from us goes. This is a joke then they wonder why people are pissed!
