(CNSNews.com) - Democrats counting on indictments of White House officials are counting their canceled appearances as an indication that the proverbial shoe is about to drop.
Andrew Card, the White House chief of staff, abruptly canceled a Republican Party fundraiser in Milwaukee Wednesday night, something the Democratic National Committee attributed to "the cloud of controversy swirling around the White House."
The DNC noted that Card's decision to cancel the Milwaukee fundraiser came after Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove also canceled various appearances this month.
The Associated Press reported that Rove bowed out of three events, including fundraisers in Connecticut and Virginia, supposedly because of the investigation into the White House leak of Valerie Plame's identity.
