Suppose a deomcrat leaked the story to Novak knowing that he won't reveal his source. This isn't as easy as throwing someone under the bus for the greater good. In my opinion, if Bush flinches in front of these jackals, he's toast fast.

I think Novak would be able to reveal that the individual was a registered Democrat. That would just open the Pandora's Box further, from his point of view.
