Zusammenfassung:Most politicians win office intending to enact their pet policies for the short term. But as this provocative book reveals, the Bush administration's primary governing focus is cementing GOP dominance for decades to come and eviscerating the Democrats' New Deal coalition. As one disgruntled former White House official put it, "It's the reign of the Mayberry Machiavellis." Guiding this quest is Karl Rove, a man who exercises unprecedented power as he marshals all branches of government in service of the ultimate goal. This book shows Rove manipulating the most obscure federal activities, and reveals how his actions shape local races and help the GOP lure the Democrats' most loyal supporters: Jews, African Americans, and Latinos. The authors detail how Republicans have turned corporate America into a wing of the party, and how their audacious, carefully crafted plan may yet unravel in a swirl of scandal in the nation's capital.--From publisher description.
