In her soon-to-be-released new book (It's My Party Too) Whitman, former governor of New Jersey and Bush cabinet member, challenges the Bush administration by arguing that moderates are important to the future of the Republican Party.
An Amazon review says that "Whitman refers to those on the far right as "social fundamentalists" whose "mission is to advance their narrow ideological agenda" by using the government to impose their views on everyone else. Though she admits that evangelicals may have helped to win the 2004 election, they have claimed much more credit than they deserve for Bush's success, and she warns that catering to this narrow group will have consequences."
