Larry J. Sabato

According to The Wall Street Journal, Larry J. Sabato is "probably the most quoted college professor in the land," and the Washington Post calls him the Mark McGwire of political analysts.  Dr. Sabato is Director of the University of Virginia's Center for Governmental Studies, and the Robert Kent Gooch Professor of Government and Foreign Affairs at U.Va.  He is a former Rhodes Scholar and Danforth Fellow.  After he received his B.A. in government from the University of Virginia as a Phi Beta Kappa in 1974, he did a year's graduate study in public policy at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.  Upon receipt of the Rhodes scholarship in 1975, he left Princeton to begin study at Queen's College, Oxford University.  In less than two years he received his doctorate in politics from Oxford, and was invited to become a tutor (instructor) for students in the Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (PPE) program.  In January 1978 he was elected Lecturer in Politics at New College, Oxford.  He joined the faculty at the University of Virginia in September 1978.
