Sabato's Crystal Ball 

Larry Sabato, Director, Center for Politics and Robert Kent Gooch Professor of Politics

Professor Larry Sabato will bring his political prowess and knowledge to the More Than the Score audience to discuss the upcoming Gubernatorial Elections of 2009, including that of Virginia, to the crucial 2010 elections and their potential impact on both local and national politics. Sabato was at the helm of his famed Crystal Ball in 2008, which was the most accurate political analysis of last year's election, correctly predicting over 95% of the Senate and House races and coming within one electoral vote of the actual result of the Presidential contest! Sabato has spoken at length in several hundred national TV appearances and speeches. Now he will end his road in this election season back at home—on Grounds, with the people he calls his extended Wahoo family.
