Dennis Hopper is a long time Republican, and though I’d heard that this time he endorsed Obama, it was interesting to hear him [explain himself on The View](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/04/dennis-hopper-i-voted-for_n_140940.html).

I would imagine that Hasslewhatever was absolutely fuming.

I guess I wasn’t sure where to put this, and chose CS since Hopper’s an actor. Mods can move it if it belongs elsewhere.

Nice interview, thanks for sharing it. He mentions his wife, Victoria, but doesn’t reveal that she is the Chairwoman of Women for Obama in California, so she more than just “supports” him, she’s been working to get him elected. [This is her](http://www.flickr.com/photos/23298617@N05/2280925720/in/set-72157603844923200/) speaking at the UCLA rally with Michelle Obama that I attended.
