Boy, do I like this!!!

Remember- Novak is a Democrat !!

[MplsSteve]

Novak IS a Democrat?

Seriously?!

I also thought (by the tone of his articles and when he's on TV) that he was a Republican or at least an independent.

Remember- Novak is a Democrat !!

What??

I've heard explicitly talk about being a Republican and I've heard Al Hunt and Mark Shields refer to him as Republican before on CNN

This will only get prominence in the press if more folks pick up on it and read it with an open and logical mind. Novak ought to be congratulated for his objective viewing of the book, but more needs to be done. Only if the main stream press picks it up and gives it it's just due will people hear of it.

Funny I thought he was a republican all these years I have watched him. Maybe someone should tell him. Where are all the young reporters? Is the old man the only one with balls?

[NEBO]

Are you sure he is a democrat? He always sounds conservative.

Coolidge's Legacy
By Robert Novak

Robert D. Novak has been a newspaper reporter, correspondent and columnist since the early 1950s. He is a commentator for Cable News Network, co-producer of CNN's "Capital Gang" and regularly co-hosts "Crossfire." He is the co-author of books on Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.

When making public speeches, I refer to Calvin Coolidge as my second favorite president of the 20th century (Ronald Reagan ranks first), and derisive laughter invariably results. That reflects the conventional wisdom of "Silent Cal" as a dull-witted mossback. In fact, his combined personal integrity, faith in the market system and concern for the ordinary citizen are what should be-but all too often are not-the model of American conservatism.
