(A significant promotion which wouldn't have been made lightly by Sabato. - promoted by Scarce)
Larry J. Sabato, Director, U. Va. Center of Politics and author of the "Crystal Ball", writes in today's newsletter that the Democratic wave in the House and Senate races continues to build, and changes his rating of the Connecticut 4th C.D. race from Leans "R" to Leans "D". Sabato is one of the most respected (and conservative) political scientists in the field of polling and his prognostications proved close to the mark in 2006. The swing in the 4th C.D. rating is a large one as it moves not just one rating to "toss-up" but two spots from Leans "R" to Leans "D". Keep up the good work, Jim!
