Winning Right

If Washington politics is Hardball, Ed Gillespie shows how the game is really played! With a fresh, new insider's perspective, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee draws from lessons learned in more than twenty years of campaign strategy and national policy debate -- most especially from his role at the heart of the historic and groundbreaking 2004 presidential election -- to reveal how the game of politics is played on its highest level. In a frank and engaging narrative, he looks inside the George W. Bush presidency and beyond, to discuss such topics as - A political code of ethics and playing by the rules - Successes and failures in campaign planning and execution - The role of old and new media - The battle for the Supreme Court - Hot-button issues - The future of the GOP -- and how to win right in 2008.
