Description
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.

Reviews / Votes
"Well worth reading if you're a political junkie....His book has the distinction of being intelligent, respectful of his opponents, and funny." -- The Weekly Standard "Both of us have benefited from Ed Gillespie's sage political advice and his commitment and loyalty. Readers of Winning Right will learn a lot about how politics works in real campaigns, and hopefully get a sense of the best values that motivate people who run for office and the people who work for them." -- Senator Elizabeth Dole (R-NC), chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee; and former Senate Majority Leader and Republican presidential nominee Robert DoleMore details
