Novak is a lightening rod around this forum because he is a reporter besides being a commentator. He states facts which are sometimes unpleasant in an unvarnished fashion and does not simply sing from the party song sheet that all is great and that makes some people very up angry.

Yes, Novak is a registered Democrat. That is because he lives in DC and there is no GOP in DC. The only way he has any input in local politics is by voting for the least crazy of the Dems in the primaries.

This fact is widely known and those who quickly point out that Novak is a Dem have been told the reason many times all ready but they continue to pop on to every Novak thread to "shoot the messenger" with the "he's a Democrat" ammo. It is strictly a tactic to keep conservative readers from considering what the man reports.

I don't take issue with your point of why Novak is a registered Dem. As an indie, I couldn't care less. But I have absolutely no difficulty recognizing his consistent anti-Bush bent in nearly all his articles.
