Storming the State House provides a revealing, behind-the-scenes look into the campaign that elected Alabama's first Republican legislature in modern history and liberated the state from 136 years of Democrat Party rule. Written by Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard, it is a battlefield account by the architect of the Republican takeover, whose vision and partisan vigor directly led to the GOP tsunami that hit Alabama in November 2010.
"Speaker of the Alabama State House Mike Hubbard provides an insightful first-hand account of the successful 2010 Republican effort that captured the Alabama state legislature for the GOP for the first time in 136 years. Anyone interested in grassroots politics will enjoy this quick read!"
Karl Rove, former Senior Advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush
