Charlie Crist, the former Republican governor of Florida,
spent years in the party’s inner circle. In this
no-holds-barred memoir, he shows why he switched sides and
became a Democrat.
After serving as a
Republican governor—one who was on the short list for the
vice presidency in 2008—Charlie Crist made headlines when he
decided to run for the U.S. Senate as an Independent. He was
on the front page again when he endorsed President Obama in
2012 and spoke at the Democratic National Convention—and yet
again when he officially joined the Democratic Party later
that year. In The Party’s Over, he’ll make even more
news when he reveals: - The inside
story of his 2010 Senate primary campaign against Marco
Rubio, where he learned exactly how vicious the Republican
leadership can be.
- His journey from
inner circle to persona non grata, thanks to his literal
embrace of President Obama.
- His very
frank opinions on Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Sarah
Palin, and other top-tier Republicans.
-
Why he believes that Democrats have the right vision for
Florida and the nation. • What he’s learned as a member of
both parties and why he remains convinced that the two-party
system can still work—with the right leadership.
Rather than just rehashing his career, in this book
Crist offers a focused indictment of the failings of the
Republican Party, naming names and identifying where things
went wrong. The Party’s Over is as far from “politics
as usual” as you can get.
