Rove tells McCain to open up
Washington | May 09, 2008 12:01:13 AM IST
Republican political guru Karl Rove has this advice for GOP presidential hopeful John McCain: Be more open. In an op-ed published in The Wall Street Journal Wednesday, President George Bush's former political adviser called McCain one of the most private individuals to run for president in history. McCain ought to reveal more about his personal life, particular his heroics as a Vietnam POW, if he wants to be elected in November. Private people like Mr. McCain are rare in politics for a reason, Rove wrote. Candidates who are uncomfortable sharing their interior lives limit their appeal. But if Mr. McCain is to win the election this fall, he has to open up. Rove also said the Arizona senator should highlight more that he and his wife took in a sick Bangladeshi child in 1991. That child became their adopted daughter Bridget. Mr. McCain cannot make this a biography-only campaign -- but he can't afford to make it a biography-free campaign either, Rove writes. Unless he opens up more, many voters will never know the experiences of his life that show his character, integrity and essential decency. (UPI)
