It's my party

"It's My Party is part irreverent memoir, part "travel diary," and part impassioned call to arms. In it, Robinson shows just what the GOP has got going for it - and how its most triumphant years are yet to come.". "Along with Robinson's personal, and sometimes hilarious, lifelong relationship with Republicanism, It's My Party takes us through history and geography to trace the party's roots. It pushes the hot buttons of headline issues that other political professionals are afraid to touch. It introduces us to both the party's leaders and its foot soldiers, from George Bush, Sr., to Rep. Chris Cox, from Newt Gingrich to Bret Schundler, mayor of Jersey City, N.J. It follows the surprising rite of passage of one gifted young African-American Republican and provides one woman officeholder's perspective, revolutionary in its simplicity, on the gender gap. And it looks up close at the two men most likely to carry the standard of the Republican Party into the new century: George W. Bush and New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani."--BOOK JACKET.
