Prof. Larry Sabato of UVA, #1 expert on Virginia politics, says George Allen did in fact use the N-word in the past, in spite of Allen's denials

Professor Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia, who is a big deal, says he doesn't believe George Allen when he says he never used the N-word. Sabata says Allen DID use the N-word, whatever he claims to the contrary. And even more interestingly, Sabato says there is "other evidence" that he won't go into on the show that proves Allen has used the N-word. Wow. According to Josh Marshall, Sabata and Allen both graduated from UVA in 1974. Does that mean Sabato knows first-hand that George Allen is a racist?

Sabato is probably the biggest, most important political observer in the state of Virginia. This is huge.
