Novak's sources are those who hate the President as much as he does.
I received a letter from Rudy asking me to donate to Perry but nothing from McCain. Also have received a lot of mail asking for donation mail from people running for various offices outside Oklahoma and I am still on the list for the Victory 2006 which is a spin-off of Bush-Cheney but nothing from McCain.
I think Novak is trying to tie McCain to Bush like Bush is supporting McCain but it won't work -- I still don't like McCain and nothing Novak writes is going to change that fact.
