Hugh Hewitt just wrote Painting the Map Red, The Fight to Create a Permanent Republican Majority.

"Painting the Map Red is the insider's blueprint for achieving a permanent Republican Majority." Hugh Hewitt was signing his new book at Borders today, warning that if the Republicans don't play offense they may be in for a disaster in 2006.

by John Gaudio

Hugh Hewitt, as always, is a gentleman.  He started by making a few comments, and asking everyone in line with small children to come to the head of the line.  He understands the needs of people, including little people.

He's here, sounding the alarm, with his new book.  Painting the Map Red.

"We need to work really hard.  We could lose our majority if we don't handle things well."

"Two sates are critical.  Ohio, and Colorado."   "Colorado is really a purple state."  "Hillary will win the nomination.  Obama will be her running mate.  He's so good it's a formidable challenge."  "Ohio and Colorado are the states the Democrats will try to turn over."

When asked what books other than his own he would recommend, Hugh quipped that it was a terrible question to ask an author, but did recommend two books.

Rebel in Chief, an intimate biography of George Bush by Fred Barnes, and Hard America, Soft America, by Michael Barone, a book that describes how we're too soft on our kids, then hard on our young adults, and how being hard on them helps them succeed in their thirties.

Special thanks to Hugh's Sponsor, WWW.MailCall.com, a service that provides access to your email via phone, for making room for me to plug in at their table so I could write this post.
