My friend Robert Stacy McCain is a great reporter, but he really needs to stick with topics he has a longer history covering, rather than just parachuting in to a state (that he was not covering or living in at the time) and buying a pig in a poke. On Monday I will have a full-length answer to his column on Alabama politics, on the main page of this site. For now, though, let me just say that Tim James is no angel, and that GOP front-runner Bradley Byrne is a solid fiscal conservative, as is current Gov. Bob Riley, despite McCain’s suggestions to the contrary.
