National Analyst Puts Fourth CD Within Himes’s Reach

Thursday October 23, 2008

Professor Larry J. Sabato, director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, this morning has put Connecticut’s tight Fourth Congressional District race into the Democratic’s column. In his web log (centerforpolitics.org/crystalball) Sabato, a nationally respected political analyst, said that a “big wave” of Democrats seems poised to vote US Rep. Chris Shays out of office after 21 years and make Democratic challenger Jim Himes the next congressman.
Formerly, Sabato had the 4th CD “leaning” Republican, but now he’s called it “leaning” Democratic.
