Opis

The Inner Circle, A Modern Political Novel Bryce Randolph, a retired consultant and long time political junkie living in Arizona is totally fed up with the Republican Party, and the direction in which it seems to be going. He writes an e-mail to the junior Senator from Ohio, Jeff Corcoran, in which he outlines what he believes, and how disappointed he is that there seems to be no place for him within his own party. Corcoran in turn involves Randolph in a study group which eventually includes many of the leading party moderates including the Chairman of the Republican National Committee. Gordon Metcalfe is a professional politician who was recently chosen by the RNC to take the position of Chairman hoping to find a way to return the party to a position of permanent relevance. He is extremely broad minded and firmly believes to achieve success the party must move away from its ultra conservative base. Gordon is not a purist, but believes the end objective is always to elect your candidate. However, he is faced with a liberal opposition party with a popular minority as its leader. The overwhelming prospect is for the opposition to keep his party out of the White House for a very long time. Gordon begins looking for fresh new faces to lead the Party in anticipation of the next big Primary season. His hope is to combine a fresh face with fresh new ideas thus creating a much broader appeal. Gordon confronts a tumultuous group of conservative delegates at a National RNC Meeting which ultimately leads to his resignation as chairman. He then recruits one of the most attractive of the new faces whom he propels into the hotly contested Republican primaries. Gordon and his allies are then left to deal with the turmoil and intrigue existing in both political parties, involving vicious name calling, personal threats, outrageous media coverage and back room deals. In the final analysis the story turns on how the American voter sorts out the Liberal Left, Conservative Right and Moderate Center candidates during hotly contested Primary races in both parties. All of this posturing then leads to an equally contentious Election season ending with the voters having the final say on Election Day.
