How dare he offer different opinions! That is so evil.
Exactly, Novak had to go 3 against 1 against the liberals on the cable talks shows, sometimes 4 to 1. Those are the only odds the liberals would accept in the pre-Fox News days. His co-panelists had a hard time dealing with someone who disagreed with them, like when he predicted the Republicans would pick up twice as many seats in the 1994 House elections as Hunt, Shields, or Carlson were willing to concede. The GOP ended up exceeding even Novak’s expectations in that historic smackdown of the Clinton presidency.
God willing the 2010 elections will be an even bigger smackdown of Obama.
