[edit] Homosexuality

Can someone offer a citation on Larry Sabato being an open homosexual? I looked up and down google and saw nothing that stated that outside the wikipedia page. I've removed it as there is no proof that's true and was added by an anonymous IP address. Abacab 21:56, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

As a former student of Prof. Sabato's, I believe he has never made any public comment about being homosexual, nor do I believe it is of any great significance.

Agreed. Abacab 19:18, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

More importantly, I don't think there has been any public controversy about what his sexuality is in general to date, making it a complete non-issue at this time. Plunge 20:50, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I am a former class mate of Larry's and actually dated him for a while. BTW, I am a female. He was an absolute gentleman in every sense of the word and don't really see the point of this line of curiosity. Whether Larry is gay or straight should have nothing to do with his work at the University or his commentaries. Unfortunately, we have not kept in touch and I totally disagree with many of his thoughts and opinions on our political structure and nation. However, I still see no point in this "voyeuristic" endeavor to find out if Larry is gay or straight. All in all, he is a wonderful person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mpvanderwall (talk • contribs) 16:00, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sabato in the Park

Unless someone can either cite or at least explain the "Sabato in the Park" bit, it should be removed. It doesn't even say who the parody song is by. Plunge 20:50, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I removed that bit -- it was completely useless and presumably a joke. I also removed the entire paragraph about the Webb/Allen election because it has virtually nothing to do with Sabato.--WaldoJ 03:07, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
