The Democrats have an easy road to victory, right? Not quite. This book pulls the curtain back on the Republicans' astonishingly effective efforts to keep that from happening. Despite poor polling for the Republicans, they are closer to making America a one-party country than most people imagine. One Party Country exposes the way Republicans have nearly completed their plan to: - Make the most of redistricting, so that most congressional seats aren't really up for grabs
- Create software and databases the Democrats can only dream ofβa huge advantage in turning out their base
- Make modern polling useless, since even the best polls can't measure the turnout advantage
- Turn big business into an arm of the party, from K Street to corporate boardrooms and sometimes onto the factory floor
- Stir up the religious right with one hand, while actually forwarding the competing agenda of their big donors with the other
- Create policiesβlike Iraq, Social Security privatization, and faith-based programsβthat use the government's resources to tilt the electorate to the right and undermine the Democrats
- Neutralize the Democrats' traditional advantage with Hispanics, women, and African Americans
- Fill the courts with conservative judges ready to turn away challenges to this new order
This plan is not only audaciousβit's working. Are there any flaws in Karl Rove's strategy? Are Democrats fighting back? Do they even have a clue what's going on? Read this dramatic and provocative exposΓ© and find out.
