It's My Party Too: The Battle for the Heart of the GOP and the Future of America Summary
| "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 the moderates who ask themselves ""Whatever happened to the party of Lincoln?"" Bearing profound implications not only for the future of the party but also for the future of American politics, this momentous battle will rage on no matter what the outcome of the presidential election.

A lifelong and loyal Republican and a leader of the party's moderate wing, she is a passionate believer in the power of the ""productive middle"" in politics. In the tradition of Democratic Senator Zell Miller's national bestseller A National Party No More, which critiqued the Democratic party's move to the far left, in It's My Party Too she offers a passionate and revealing insider's argument against the hijacking of her party by zealous ""social fundamentalists.""
