Rove stumps for Bachmann, Kennedy. Not that Kennedy.
2006-07-23
White House political maestro Karl Rove urged money and other forms of support for Republican congressional candidate Michele Bachmann at a Stillwater fundraiser Friday while protesters outside the event called for Bachmann to be defeated, Rove to be indicted and President Bush to be impeached. Rove also appeared at a fundraiser for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mark Kennedy on Friday evening. That event was closed to the media.

At the Bachmann luncheon, Rove focused on the global war on terror, which he treated as interchangeable with the war in Iraq, and on the strength of the U.S. economy, which he attributed to Bush's tax cuts. Rove, who is of Norwegian descent, also said of his Minnesota visit that it's "great to be in a place where Norwegians are not a minority." The Bachmann fundraiser at the Water Street Inn in Stillwater attracted about 60 supporters, who paid $250 for lunch. Couples who contributed $1,000 to Bachmann could have their pictures taken with Rove. The Bachmann campaign did not immediately release the total amount raised.
