Bob Gibson is the political reporter for the Charlottesville Daily Progress. He joins Coy Barefoot each week to discuss Virginia politics. He says last week’s election ended up being decided by President Bush’s stance on the war, and does not necessarily reflect a changing Virginia. He reminds listeners that two-term presidents usually lose seats at the six-year point of their administration.
In his recent Sunday column, Bob traced George Allen’s political career, describing him as a man who united the Republican Party in the state. He and Coy discuss Allen’s future, and the passage of the gay marriage amendment.

I’m feeling a bit guilty about the breakfast I just ate. That’s because several Charlottesville-area residents are cutting back on what they eat and drink over the next three days. They’ll be participating in the “poverty diet experience”, a project of several area non-profits including the
Jefferson Area Board for the Aging, the Legal Aid Justice Center, Monticello Area Community Action Agency (MACAA), the Quality Community Council and the Virginia Organizing Project.
Participants are restricted to only spending $2.83 a day on food and drink. That’s the average amount a food stamp recipient gets. Charlottesville High School student Michael Strickland is taking the challenge. I spoke with him yesterday about what he expects.
Michael has a tape recorder, and he’ll be keeping an audio diary of his experiences. We’ll post that for you on Thursday.
