Chad Dotson of the Commonwealth Conservative phones in on the November 2 edition of WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now from his home in Wise, Virginia. Dotson and Coy Barefoot talk about Larry Sabato’s recent prediction that Jim Webb will defeat George Allen in the senate race. Dotson disagrees, and says this race is much closer than it should be.
“I’m expecting a three-point Allen victory,” he says, citing what he calls Webb’s poor campaign. Dotson also weighs in on John Kerry’s comments this week about the military and George Bush.

Laura Bono, founder of the National Autism Association, joins Coy Barefoot on the October 26th edition of WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now. Her son Jackson was born in 1989, and Laura says his health began to decline after his 16-month vaccinations. Jackson began to withdraw and regress developmentally, and was diagnosed as being autistic.
“My husband Scott and I felt like our child was now becoming allergic to the world,” says Laura. “Something was desperately wrong with his immune system and so we felt like it was the vaccine.” There was no history of autism in her family.
Bono says NAA is geared towards finding a cure for autism, and for providing support to parents. She reports her son is benefiting from chelation, a process in which toxic metals are removed from the body. But she says most doctors are still opposed to the idea that autism may be mercury poisoning.
On November 17, Bono will travel to Washington D.C. to tell the National Institute of Health what direction she and her group think research should go in to combat autism.

John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute says the divorce rate is a larger threat to marriage then efforts by gay couples to seek legal recognition. He points to a New York Times article that reports that traditional families are now the minority in the country, and that fundamental Christians have a divorce rate equal to the rest of the population.
“If you think you’re going to fix the family by passing this amendment, you’re not” said Whitehead on the October 26th edition of WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now with Coy Barefoot. He says existing law would prevent a gay couple married in Massachussets from being recognized in Virginia.
Coy also talks with Whitehead about the elections, and the possibility of the Republic crumbling to a halt because of corruption and a lack of knowledge about how the government works.
