Good for Patrick Cooper, bad for Patrick Cooper
Maybe. Folks are searching the Web for Patrick Cooper again, my site reports claim, and that only means one thing: trouble in Alabama. And trouble in Alabama only means one thing: trouble for me. A federal jury has convicted Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford of all 60 conspiracy, bribery, fraud, and money laundering counts he faced. The conviction automatically removed Langford from office and installed an interim.
But there now appear to be searchers and commenters looking for Langford's mayoral runoff opponent and this Patrick Cooper's Google PageRank-nemesis "Patrick Cooper" to return to politics. Cooper has been active this fall in getting out the vote. Let's keep it that way.

Hey – I'm ready to send you some money so you can get elected mayor of Birmingham…. but you're the wrong Patrick Cooper! Ha! Just be glad your name is not Larry Langford… or as we affectionately refer to him down here: "La La"… "Larry LangFraud"… and other things my momma won't let me repeat. :0)

Ha! Thanks so much for visiting the site and writing in. On a day when I learn Patrick Cooper is running for mayor again, that I'm not named Larry Langford is truly the bright side.

Good luck in the race! We need your leadership. You are much lighter skinned and younger looking than I recall.

Thanks so much. Patrick Cooper, like Batman, is everywhere. And everyone. In a way, we all are Patrick Cooper. (In a more accurate way, just I am. And the man who wants to be your new mayor.)

Hilarious! I was searching the web for Patrick Cooper of Birmingham and ran across this site, just like you detailed, in my seach, and got you! No love lost, I think its neat you get the good, and the bad that comes along with having the same name and I hope you benefit from all the traffic!

Hey! I searched Patrick Cooper for mayor in Birmingham and got you too….I see a lot of people have done the same
I think your sense of humor about this is awesome! And, sorry about the trouble for you about LaLa's conviction….but thank God for the people in Birmingham. Patrick Cooper should have won to begin with, but I applaud his letting LaLa hang himself from his own rope.

Welcome Birminghamians! (Birminghamish?) Thanks so much for visiting. Been watching the election results tonight on the News' Cover It Live session. Looks like a run-off indeed! I don't know the factions well enough to take a guess at that race. Who did the bad weather benefit today? What will different weather and losing the other dozen candidates do?

Well get ready to get more hits. The race between Patrick Cooper and William Bell will be January 19th. And like many others I wanted to educate myself before I went out and voted.

Found you looking for Pat in Bham, seems like everybody is looking for info on a man we know little about.
