I received a message from a friend asking me to comment on what I thought of Larry Sabato's event last night, so here are a few of my comments.
I always love going to Prof. Sabato's events because he always sticks around afterwards to field questions. This is definitely the highlight for me, being able to ask a question and receive a very opinionated response in return; it just makes it that much more personal. As far as the content of the presentation goes, I really enjoy when Prof. Sabato and his colleagues at the Center for Politics talk about which Senate and House races are going to be competitive this November. And just some advice for students, sign up for the weekly Crystal Ball newsletter! There isn't a better way to start your Thursday morning than with witty political analysis and commentary.
