Karl Rove to visit RC

Karl Rove, who will speak at a San Bernardino County Republican Party fundraiser at the Etiwanda Gardens on Friday, might get a friendlier reception here than in Claremont but it's too soon to tell. The event, spearheaded by Jim Brulte, begins at 3 p.m. and lasts until 11 p.m.  5 p.m. 

The Backbone Campaign, the folks who brought you the chain gang pictured here, are already organizing a "welcome party" for Rove. Let's see how they will fare in this Republican city.

[Oct. 8: The sheriff's apparently are prepared.]
