Rove To Raise Funds For Hutchison In Texas
Vince Leibowitz | Jul 28, 2008 | Comments 5
Last week, you will recall that we told you about Karl Rove coming to Texas to raise funds for various Republican candidates for Texas House. Today, Capitol Annex has learned that a fundraiser with Rove for Kay Bailey Hutchison is also in the works.
Hutchison is strongly considering a run for Texas Governor against Rick Perry in 2010. The Rove fundraiser is reportedly a tactic to scare Perry out of the 2010 race.
It’s no secret that there has been no love lost between the Bush and Perry camps over the years, and that Hutchison regards the current governor with disdain. Adding Rove to the mix spices things up a bit heading toward 2010.

Perry is stepping all over Republicans trying to raise money this cycle with his aggressive fundraising for reelection. Kuff -
Gov. Rick Perry has named his lead consultants for the 2010 gubernatorial campaign. They are — drumroll, please — political advisor David Carney, pollster Mike Baselice and media consultant David Weeks. This news after Vince atCapitol Annex anouncedKarl Rove is come to scare Rick Perry out of running for Governor fundraise for KBH. Other than Rove, Kay Bailey has been coy with who will be running her campaign. What this does signal is Rick Perry is gearing up for a fight.
