Arkansas Politics Karl Rove coming to Harding

Posted by Max Brantley on Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 6:51 AM

No official announcement yet, but the Harding University calendar shows a guest lecture from Karl Rove at 7 p.m. Oct. 16 for the school's American Studies Institute.

No word if Republican U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin will be on hand. He owes his former boss plenty, including a brief run as U.S. attorney. What a seminar they could give on voter caging.

Re: Must read: Roy Reed's obituary on Orval Faubus' sister

Circuit Judge Wendell Griffen, injured in a bicycle accident last week near his home, sent me an update this morning from his iPad.
