He said the Swiftboat lies were "true." He said Kerry never went to Cambodia, didn't earn his Purple Heart, etc.
He's a great fit for Fox.

(52,199 posts)not quite as bad as rasmussen, but still noticeable.
but i've often said that sabato's bias seems to be roughly in line with the right-wing's vote counting fraud, so his final results are still worth paying attention to.
but definitely look out when he talks away from the data.
