MANCHESTER, N.H. --Presidential adviser Karl Rove is the keynote speaker Monday night at the state Republican Party's annual dinner -- which Democrats say is to raise money to help the party pay legal fees in a phone jamming case.
State Party Chairman Wayne Semprini acknowledged Friday he would like to raise enough money so the suit "represents a very small portion of our budget."
But he said the case has nothing to do with Rove's appearance.

Semprini said the party will use half or more of the proceeds to promote candidates in this fall's elections. The rest will be used to pay operating expenses, including legal fees racked up by the Democratic Party's lawsuit.
