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 of—a 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 policies—like Iraq, Social Security
privatization, and faith-based programs—that 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
audacious—it'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
exposé and find out.
