This is a book about winning elections in an age when security has trumped almost every other issue and the technology of political effectiveness is evolving with lightning quickness. Hewitt offers real-world tactics for individuals who (1) care about the future of the United States and (2) want to work effectively to help elect candidates who will lead the country-on a national or local level-in the right direction.

In this book, Hugh Hewitt does more than rehash conservative grievances, preach to the choir, or even preach to the choir plus the undecideds. He aims to change the behavior of the choir, one reader at a time. Hewitt includes material targeted to people of faith when appropriate and appeals to all readers who consider themselves conservative or center-right.

The recklessness of our leaders on security and many other crucial issues has never been clearer, and acting in response to that recklessness has never been so urgent. The silly response is anger. The smart response is winning elections.

Timely and True!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2018

Great Read!! This book it timely and true as evidenced by this recent election (Nov 6, 2018). As an election judge in a rural town I rarely even see a provisional ballot. This book will help solve the dishonest unethical situation the voting public finds itself in. Hugh should re-publish this every 2 years. I pull out my copy every 2 years.

Whether you are a R or D, this is a excellent read.

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2004

Verified Purchase

This is a well written book. It makes the point quickly and moves on to the next issue. Mr. Hewitt's point that the only true issue in this election is the war, is excellent and straight to the point. He argues that all other issues should be put aside to make sure everyone is safe. Whether you are on the right and being asked to put gun rights behind you or on the left and being ask to put gay rights on the back burner, Mr. Hewitt makes a good point that the nation should be put first. Therefore, elect the people who can best handle the war. Easy read, can be completed in only a few hours.

Keeps the focus on the most important issue

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2004

Verified Purchase

There is so much that can divert attention from the fact that the one most important issue in this election is how the next administration will deal with the threat of Islamic terrorism and the damage that can be done to our society in this age of weapons of mass destruction. Even those of us who do not support many of the administration's domestic policies can benefit from constant reminders of the importance of this one issue. I do appreciate the honesty of several reviewers who slam the book after proudly stating that they have not read it. I've read it twice and have lived through most of the events chronicled and it does ring true - maybe that's what those reviewers didn't like about it.

Easy-to-read primer on our most important topic

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2004

Verified Purchase

Hugh Hewitt's blog ([...]) is one of my daily stops. With Hugh, you are guaranteed to receive a fresh perspective on the cutting-edge news of the day. His interests and reading are wide-ranging, but his focus on the important topics of the day is clear, focused like a laser. In If It's Not Close," the key is winning. Not "by any means possible" winning, but "controlling the major issue" winning. In this election, the major issue is national security.

The importance of winning grew out of the Californian experience of the recall election. Many people forget how tenuous the recall election was. First, it was on, then off, then on. If it would have been close, it would have been challenged immediately. Thank God, it wasn't, because Arnold has single-handedly rescued us from the brink of disaster.

Sure, the liberal media didn't help Arnold win, but neither did Tom McClintock, one of the Republican "purists." In this book, Hugh makes a great case for the Republican "purists" and "extremists" to give up their pet causes and agendas just long enough to cast a vote for George Bush. Only an overwhelming win, 5% or more, will give the Republican Party the mandate to accomplish its cultural goals.

As a gift, this book is better for Republicans who've lost their way than it is for "girlie man" Democrats. Like John Podhoretz' Bush Country, this book is an apologetic for George W. Bush.

Pragmatic advice from a smart man

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2004

Verified Purchase

I like Hugh Hewitt mainly because he presents his argument with facts. While he is passionate about his beliefs, he has carefully crafted a book that gives Republicans solid advice on how to win not only the Presidential election, but seats in the Senate and the House. I agree with his first and foremost premise...that if a Democrat (JFK) is elected to the White House, we have a much greater chance of seeing more active terrorism in this country and abroad. He also directs us to carefully consider the history of cheating in the Democratic party. Something I hadn't really considered, but Hugh aptly documents the evidence and makes the case for making sure that Democrats can't get away with it again.

This isn't blatant propaganda for the Republican Party and GWB. It is a fact-filled, intelligent guidebook for those who wish to stay safe in this country.
