Washington - Presidential advisor Karl Rove and at least one other member of the White House political team were urged
by the New Mexico Republican party chairman to fire the state's U.S. attorney because of dissatisfaction in part with
his failure to indict Democrats in a voter fraud investigation in the battleground election state.
In an interview Saturday with McClatchy Newspapers, Allen Weh, the party chairman, said he complained in 2005 about

followed up with Rove personally in late 2006 during a visit to the White House.
