So the only possible Republican she could be protecting is Karl Rove (despite the fact that the "leak" likely came from a Republican White House), but she could be protecting virtually any Democrat?

If her source was a Republican She'd be out front with a torch in her hand leading the chanting - "Burn 'em!".
Seriously - I don't think she would have gone to jail for an Eeevill Republican.

She may be protecting a Democrat, but you underestimate the value all reporters put on keeping their sources confidential. She knows she would never get any juicy exclusives if she were known as someone who didn't respect her sources' confidentiality.
Also, she's probably thinking about the enormous book deals and speaking engagements she'll get when this is all done.
Hell yeah, she could be protecting a Republican, for a variety of reasons.

p.s. as for the poll, I didn't vote because I think all the choices are wrong.
