Outside spending giant Karl Rove and top Romney campaign adviser Ed Gillespie will co-host a political briefing with top GOP donors at a Republican Governor’s Association gathering in Aspen, Colorado Thursday, reports CNN. The joint briefing could raise eyebrows since coordination and even discussion of campaign plans between campaigns and outside groups is prohibited by law.
Rove and Gillespie cofounded super PAC merican Crossroads and its sister nonprofit organization Crossroads GPS in 2010.
From CNN:
According to Republicans familiar with the schedule, the two operatives are headlining a lunchtime political briefing for top donors at the Republican Governors Association meeting in Aspen, a posh, closed-press affair where GOP governors mingle with some of their biggest financial backers.
RGA Executive Director Phil Cox will also be participating in the briefing, which will focus on the 2012 political landscape and various governors’ races around the country.
