Last I researched it, Calypso seems like the best general purpose CMS, which is to say that Node does not have a killer general purpose CMS. (Anyone want to take this on?) Particularly since Calipso has not been in active development for some time. Nodize looks good but is still young. There's this other thing called Hatch that's out there now and it might float your boat.
I have been using DocPad for static site generation. It is actually a pretty awesome static site generator. You could maybe start with DocPad, use Disqus for comments on your blog. For dynamic parts, if they are relatively limited (e.g., a search page), you could use the "dynamic" feature or possibly write a plugin. Seems like other frameworks (like PHP) still rule the roost as far as a CMS is concerned. I personally went the DocPad route for client sites I have built. You can setup a separate backend to manage the docpad content from a different port / subdomain or whatever. In other words, docpad generates / serves the site, but you have a separate backend that manages the content files which DocPad uses. Note that docpad generates the site from files instead of from a database like WordPress et al.
