Larry Sabato is way out there

I used to always think that Sabato was a straight shooter politically (sure I disagreed with him some, but he always seemed pretty fair). That was until he got involved in the attacks on the Allen Senate campaign in 2006. Now Sabato has some comments on Obama.

He’s a liberal but certainly not a revolutionary, as some on the right continue to insist. He’s practical which makes him tentative about pushing some of his liberal positions—which has already aggravated the left and will continue to do so. He’s a politician, not a saint. He’s a fiery rhetorician but often seems coolly detached when away from the podium. He’s far more professor than community organizer. . . .
