So, this past weekend was a Larry Sabato weekend for me. On Friday afternoon, I went to the U.Va bookstore to record the director of the U.Va Center for Politics talk about his new book "A More Perfect Constitution" for eventual podcast on the Charlottesville Podcasting Network, as well as for a special edition of WVTF's Evening Edition.
And then on Saturday, I recorded Mr. Sabato giving a slightly similar lecture as part of U.Va's More than the Score Lecture series. That recording also features Sabato's Crystal Ball. Go take a listen on the U.Va Minds website.
Striking down the mundane and dastardly while retaining a certain obscure turn of phrase, denoting something elusive yet concrete.

I'm not sure I told you, but I really enjoyed the snatches of the Sabato speech I heard.
Despite the fact that I was disappointed when I found out he was not South American or Italian.
I think he is Italian actually... not by birthplace, but by heritage, if my memory of his 101 class serves me.
If you liked his speech, you should check out the clips on his new YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/larrysabato
