"Woodward has been a lifelong Republican."
First I've ever heard of that.
Link me to some proof so I can put my rumor to rest.
Here's one of just many links:

scroll down. " Woodward, the son of a small-town Republican judge..."
It's common knowledge that he was a Registered Republican when he was investigating Nixon. It's mentioned in the book "All the President's Men" and there's a classic scene in the movie where Dustin Hoffman as Bernstein finds out that Woodward is a Repubican. I think they are interviewing a witness and when she says she's a Republican, Woodward/Redford says "I am too." And Berstein does a double-triple take.
"Link me to some proof so I can put my rumor to rest."
ROFLMAO
May I borrow that as my new tagline and nominate you for the Freeper quote of the day?
I know he was brought up in an Republican household. He served as a naval officer. He was in Naval Intelligence. He was at one time an intelligence briefer for the General that became Nixon's final Chief of Staff and Reagan's Secretary of State. He's written a whole series of books complimentary to Bush and to Greenspan. He may be a RINO but I would buy him being a big government Republican more than a flaming liberal. His former partner, Bernstein, is a liberal except as it has to do with Catholicism.
