Rove To Raise Funds For Hutchison In Texas

By Vince Leibowitz  on Jul 28, 2008 in 2010 Texas Elections      

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.
