Alabama Update: When Will Tim James Send a Dozen Roses to Rachel Maddow?

In mid-April, polls indicated Tim James was in third place in the Alabama gubernatorial primary. Then he released his “This Is Alabama, We Speak English” TV ad, Rachel Maddow went berserk, the New York Times condemned James and . . . Well, did I mention that this an Alabama Republican primary?
