Larry Sabato

Posted on 10/30/2012 11:27:34 AM PDT by 7thson

What is the general opinion of Larry sabato? He was just on M Kelly's program saying his data does not show Romney momentum.

Judging by Rasmussen, the momentum has flattened and nothing is moving in 5 point gains over a few days as before. 2 points nationally is margin of error for both candidates. The battleground states are tied essentially, and polling is down for the storm and funky this close to Tuesday.

Mitt wins, if corruption and fraud plans don’t pull even. He has to win by enough to overcome the mafia count too.

Show me how he’s wrong? This is non-stop around here. Romney is not leading outside the MOE in any poll other than Gallup nationally or battleground states.

The hard stuff is going to be flowing on FR the morning after when Obama pulls it out.

So sorry. FR is hanging and freezing and dropping again, until I can’t stand it and hit ping to move it at all.

As a long time Virginian I have come to view Sabato and his ‘political studies center’ as the political arm of the University of Virginia. Seeing that his group is embedded in the University I realize that he is dependent upon it. UVA, as all of academia, gravitates to the Left; hence Saboto does not wander far from the Plantation of Conventional Wisdom.

Romney is likely being under counted where he is in the MoE. There is a quiet revolution going on and even the revolution is showing itself in that margin of error. I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if it is a landslide, and it will be if he jacks up those Must Win states.

Much is invested in an Obama win, thus the corrupt media think may even be inside some or all of the polling.

Maybe so, but I never took Rasmussen or Sabato as collaborators in that effort. They usually call it like they see it. And both have a vested interest in being right.

Sabato is a strong partisan but always pretends to not be partisan. He showed his true partisan stripes by calling Allen a racist by stuff he claimed he heard in college while he was there with Allen. This guy is a fraud. Why Fox gives him time is beyond me.

It’s amazing to me how you Obama trolls continue to drink the Koolaid! Obama certainly has some fanatics working for him.

I was a student of his years ago. As a college kid, he was admittedly a leftie but he moderated in adulthood [my observation]. Like anyone, he may be occasionally wrong but whatever public assessment he gives, he believes based on his own analysis. I don’t think he has an agenda outside of promoting his Center for Politics.

I just don't see it !
I don't see any enthusiasm for Zero.
At this time last year I had some nitwit knocking on my door every day asking me to vote for Zero.
Also I see maybe 6+ Romney signs in people's yard for every Zero. I can only really find one when I walk the dog, there are likely others but I am NOT going to scour the neighborhood for them. (The point is they are hard to find!)
This is a Northern VA neighborhood, probably a bit left of center. There were NO McCain signs in my neighborhood in 2008!
So visible measurable enthusiasm for Romney, and maybe as much enthusiasm for Zero here as there was in 2008 for McCain.

I don't think my local experience is a pathological example. I think this is true in a lot of places!

When I end up being right we’ll all be so bummed out I won’t bother to say “I told you so.”. In the off change I’m wrong we’ll all be so sky high it won’t matter a bit.

He’s a professor in Virginia and political analyst. He usually conforms to the leanings of whichever host he’s talking to. He probably can’t identify any Romney momentum because Romney’s been leading solidly for over a week.

Sabato was taken over by pod people about a decade ago.

My read on Sabato is he’s a fair guy. But his analysis is tainted by the fact that he consumes mostly MSM skewed viewpoints.

My opinion of Sabato as well.

Paul544 didn’t think we’d do well in 2010 either. So much for his expertise on elections.

Sabatonis is a fraud and Demmparty operative !
I can not believe Fix has let this certified fraud back on tn air !

In 2004 , Larry went around stating that W Bush can not be re elected based on his may approval rating !
Then he trashed Bush non stop until Nov !

In 2006 , Saboto was CAUGht hiding that he was working for Webb while running around doing all the cable and radio shows trashing Senator Allen .
He spread the Macca phony scandal until he was outed as a Webb operative !

A liar and fraud and Dem party scum.
