Who will be the new sheriff in town?

The Scoop told you a while back that Eileen Behr, now former Whitemarsh Township police chief would be throwing her hat into the ring for Montgomery County sheriff, and that certainly came to fruition.
Now, Robert Durante, no relation to former Montco Sheriff John Durante, has decided he's not ready to ride off into the sunset just because he didn't get the Republican endorsement. The Dems are putting up Bill Holt.
So, who takes over Montgomery County next year?
Eileen Behr.
Remember, you heard it here first.

In this corner, Josh 'The Bank' Shaprio

We're guessing Montco Dems didn't put up a candidate for District Attorney because they don't want to have to take their eyes off the commissioners' race. Of course, they do have Josh 'The Bank' Shapiro walking around with a nearly $2 million war chest.
So what do you think? Does money do the talking this year?
Or, can Bruce 'Walking Tall' Castor use that big stick he's been wielding for the past three years to carry him and running mate Jenny Brown to the finish line in first place?
Or, does Shapiro have enough bank to turn that stick into a toothpick and make it a cake walk for him and Leslie Richards?
The Scoop traditionally likes to go out on a limb, but let's just wait until after the primary to find out how the voters are feeling before we call the November Election.
