Most politicians win office intending to enact their pet policies for the short term. This book shows how the Bush administration's primary governing focus is cementing GOP dominance for decades to come and eviscerating the Democrats' New Deal coalition.

One Party Country Summary

One Party Country: The Republican Plan for Dominance in the 21st Century by Peter Wallsten

"Intelligent...Their book represents a burgeoning literary genre studies of Roveology, which is the art of using what Republicans embrace, marketing information, and what they theoretically are wary of, federal power, to elect more Republicans." - George Will, "Newsweek". By the Spring of 2006, with scandal swirling around the Republicans and a President sinking in the polls, commentators began predicting a historically huge win for the Democrats. But as this book shows, thanks to redistricting, micro targeting, fundraising, executive branch arm twisting, and other techniques, the Republicans are well poised to compete in every forthcoming election, in every district, for years to come. Tom Hamburger (Silver Spring, MD) and Peter Wallsten (Washington, DC) cover the White House for the "Los Angeles Times".

One Party Country Reviews

"One Party Country does a good job of spelling out the GOP electoral strategy objectively and in detail, and without evidence of partisan leanings." (Christian Science Monitor, October 31, 2006) "For anyone who wants to understand why Republicans are winning elections and why they are likely to do so in the foreseeable future, One Party Country is a must read." (The Los Angeles Times, August 18, 2006) "...solidly reported, lucid, and fascinating...highly recommended". (Library Journal, August 15, 2006)
