ST. PAUL, Minn. - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s speech accepting the vice-presidential nomination may have been well-received, but the man at the top of the Republican ticket must still persuade voters that he’s capable of addressing their economic anxieties, said Karl Rove, the former White House deputy chief of staff.

“The most important thing for McCain to do is find a way to show a comfort with the kitchen table issues,” Rove said. “I think that’s the biggest challenge in tonight’s speech.”

Rove’s expectation-setting comments came at a breakfast panel hosted by Politico, The St. Paul Pioneer Press and Yahoo! News. Former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, former Florida Republican Party Chairman Al Cardenas, Washington Times editorial writer Tara Wall and commentator Armstrong Williams also appeared on the panel.

Rove also advised McCain to open up on a personal level with voters.

“He needs to find a way to share his interior self,” Rove explained. Telling the story of his daughter Bridget’s adoption from Bangladesh, Rove asked: “Who knows that? Not enough people.”

I love that Rove is handicapping McCain's speech.

Subtle!

And nice of him to ask for more info on his "other" child. Brings back memories

1. Rove made sure the people of South Carolina knew about McCain's adopted child

Unfucking-real.

4. Meanwhile...

Rove's biggest challenge is staying out of the Hoosegow. Brig. Stockade. Lock-up. Big House. Devil's Isle.
Klink. Jail, y'all. Being sent up-the-river.

One of those things.

6. Cannot stand Rove

I'd like to see this guy and his silly putty head drop right off the face of the earth. He's a big time crook. There is an old saying about people you can't stand. For me it's true.
"I wouldn't pee on him if he was on fire in my front yard." And to be honest with you I'm so sick of repukes that I pretty much wouldn't pee on any of them!
