Speaking at the close of the Minnesota Republican Party convention, the former adviser to President Bush painted Democrat Barack Obama as someone 'far out of the mainstream' and he urged the GOP to go after undecided voters.

Legendary Republican strategist Karl Rove rallied the party’s troops this afternoon to bring the curtain down on the GOP’s state convention.

In a 45-minute speech to convention delegates, he mockingly dismissed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s policy positions and campaign missteps, saying the Illinois senator is someone “far out of the mainstream” who “doesn’t necessarily have the same view of America that you and I do.”

Only once mentioning Hillary Rodham Clinton, who remains in the Democratic race, Rove painted Obama as a tax-raising, big-government fan who would endanger Americans by being squishy on national security.

Karl, you’d better warn McCain that a lot of those undecided voters are conservative Republicans.

The Republican Mastermind Karl Rove is largely responsible for the demise of the party. Karl needs to fade away.
