Rove Raise$ For NY Victory Fund (And Rudy).

Yes, McRove is back campaigning...

A reader forwarded an invite he received from someone close to Rudy Giuliani to a $5,000-a-head fundraiser tomorrow morning at The Union League hosted by state GOP Chairman Joe Mondello and featuring former top Bush White House political advisor Karl Rove.

The event purports to be to benefit the New York Victory Fund, a federal campaign committee that will ostensibly help all Republican candidates in 2008 via GOTV and other organizing efforts that are, by law, not supposed to be a collaborative effort between the party and the various GOP hopefuls.

But the reality is that all GOP boats in New York rise and fall on Rudy next year, and so the bulk of the cash will undoubtedly go toward assisting the former mayor (assuming he does, in fact, make it to Feb. 5), as he battles for the state’s 31 electoral college votes.

The full text of the invite appears after the jump.
