For Patrick Cooper, days to go in Birmingham's mayoral race
I'm still not the Patrick Cooper running for mayor, but I continue to get mail from voters. Their letters keep me interested. As I've told them in replies, I'm now more curious about a race in a state I've never seen than I expected possible. (The voters then usually invite me to visit.)
What's new? The race is turning ugly. Cooper missed a NAACP debate, and fingers pointed all over. Meanwhile, race-baiting and gay-baiting fliers surfaced outside the debate hall and elsewhere. On the more substantial side of the contest, there's still policy talk going on.
Bell wants more fiscal stability before tackling pressing issues such as community revitalization, crime and improved mass transit, but he sees the domed stadium as part of the city's future.
Cooper sees pre-kindergarten pro grams and mass transit as priorities to help combat the city's crime and poverty, and believes the city should pursue its "needs" before its "wants."
Birmingham folks who see this post this week, who has your vote?

I think that you should register the domain therealpatrickcooper.com and make it a mirror site.

I have a feeling this is going to end in some sort of shoot-out.
"I'm the real Patrick Cooper! Shoot him!"
"No, I am! He's an impostor! Don't shoot me!"

But would the real Patrick Cooper have to say he was the real Patrick Cooper? Whether he would or not, I look forward to Nic Cage in this movie.
