I keep reading some very negative posts on FR about Larry Sabato, and I don't get it. I hae never heard Prof. Sabato say anything partisan at all, and I've been listening to him for years. He's always sruck me as a pretty down the middle sort of guy. I even get the impression he sees politics much like a sporting event, and he's the color commentator. I don't think he much cares who wins, but he sure enjoys watching the show. Don't mean to offend anyone here, but I think Sabato is a okay guy.
He may be O.K., but he leans Left. You have to listen to him for a while to detect this, but it's there.
He said a month ago that the race was over, Kerry's to lose.
I guess only Republicans would think that that was partisan when we hadn't even had our Convention yet?
And, he seemed to pretty much have a tin ear (as did the rest of the media) about the May 8 Press Conference by the SwiftBoat Vets for Truth.
They all ignored Kerry's 1971 Congressional Testimony. In fact, I still haven't seen it mentioned anywhere by Sabato, but I don't watch TV very much. Or, for that matter Kerry's appearance on Meet The Press in 1971, or his spin on his "medals being thrown away."
Okay, Larry, I am waiting.
I'd also like to hear what Larry has to think about Kerry not being available for any interviews with the MSM, not even the reporters covering him on the campaign.
Should I go on?
And, what about those vacations of Kerry's?
Well, you see, its like this...
I figure if anybody is worth knowing,
then I probably know them already.
And If I don't know them already,
then they probably suck.
So I don't know who this Larry Sabato guy is,
so that means he is probably not worth knowing,
which in turn means that he probably sucks.
Do I know you?
