WisGOP Email from Karl Rove Complains About "Dirty Tricks" & Vouches for Walker's Character

Last night, the Republican Party of Wisconsin sent out a fundraising appeal titled, "A Message from Karl Rove," where Rove says "liberal special interests" are "using every dirty trick in the book" to defeat Governor Scott Walker, whom Rove vouches for as a "good man":

Dear friend,

America's eyes are on Wisconsin again.

Democrats are desperate to beat Governor Scott Walker because his commonsense reforms worked and put Wisconsin back on track. So liberal special interests are using every dirty trick in the book to defeat him.

That’s why I’m asking for your help.

Democrats and unions are pouring millions into the state to defeat Scott Walker. They know his victory will send a loud, clear message that voters want leaders willing to make tough choices and advocate bold reforms.

National union bosses call Walker their #1 target. They won’t stop until November 4th. We can’t either. This good man moved Wisconsin forward and inspired conservatives across America. Will you give $50, $100 or more today? The Republican Party of Wisconsin is leading the way for Walker, especially on getting out the vote, and your gift will go directly into vital work to get our people to the polls.

With Scott Walker’s leadership, Wisconsin is an example for America. Give the unions and national Democrats indigestion by helping this good man win.

Thanks for your help,

Karl Rove
