Title: It's my party too
Subtitle: the battle for the heart of the GOP and the future of America
Description: The Republican party is embroiled in a heated and high-stakes battle between its far-right and moderate wings, with conservatives declaring open warfare on moderates. A lifelong and loyal Republican and a leader of the party's moderate wing, Whitman is a passionate believer in the power of the "productive middle" in politics. In this book she offers an insider's argument against the hijacking of her party by zealous "social fundamentalists." She argues that conservative extremists, in relentlessly pushing their ideological stances, playing to the far-right base, running negative campaigns and marginalizing women, are not only violating traditional Republican principles but are also holding the party back from achieving a true majority.
