Whether you agree with Tim James or not...
J.D. Crowe makes a good point in today's Press-Register:
Setting Alabama back about 20 years doesn't make much business sense to me.
(Wait a minute. Looking down at my notes ... )
Does it to you?
Also check out today's editorial in the Press-Register.
I'm interested to know what other people think about the ad. I'm sure most Alabamians would instinctively agree with the ad--to borrow a phrase from Tim, it's common sense. However, I think one can make the argument that there are better ways to address the problem of assimilation than this particular piece of legislation.
In my opinion, the problem isn't really a language problem, it's an immigration problem. A large number of immigrants who come here are not making the effort to assimilate into American culture.

Rasmussen Polls AL Gubernatorial Race
01/04/10 14:47
It's more good news for Bradley Byrne in the latest polls numbers from Rasmussen.
He's the only Republican candidate to garner 50% of the vote, and that's in a head to head matchup with Rep. Artur Davis. He beats both Davis and Sparks by a comfortable margin.
The news is not so good for Roy Moore however. He trails both Davis and Sparks in a head to head match up.
The polling included now candidate for Lt. Gov Kay Ivey. It will be interesting to see how her switching will affect the gubernatorial race.

New Poll Numbers in Alabama Governor/Attorney General Races
30/03/10 17:51
PPP released news poll numbers on the governor and attorney general races today. The news is good for AG candidate Luther Strange, who is in a statistical dead heat with incumbent Troy King. It's bad news for Troy King who is polling under 50% and tied with a challenger that has yet to run any ads.
On the gubernational side, Bradley Byrne seems to have broken out of his rut with 27%. Roy Moore is holding pretty steady at 23%. The news was really bad for Tim James. He came in at 9%, behind Dr. Robert Bentley and Treasurer Kay Ivey who were tied at 10%.
