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.

Try to scoop The Scoop!
Let's see, Joe Hoeffel's out, Jim Matthews is out, and now Jill Govberg is out.
The race for Montgomery County commissioner is looking more like a race that no one wants to run.
We know the Dems are banking on Josh Shapiro and Leslie Richards, but we're still up in the air on the Republican side.
Bruce Castor wants Marie Cavanaugh as his running mate, but Republican Party Chair Bob Kerns wants Jenny Brown to run on the ticket. Kate Harper still hasn't withdrawn and the convention is next week.
The Scoop has a feeling Kerns is going to get his way and it will be a Castor/Brown ticket.
Anyone care to try to scoop The Scoop?

Chips are falling
Montgomery County is going to have one heck of a primary this year.
Whitemarsh police Chief Eileen Behr, who was supposed to be appointed Sheriff, is going to run for the office since she was looked over as a successor to former Sheriff John Durante.
The Scoop is under the distinct impression that all three county commissioner are bi-polar. Jim Matthews is going to run. Wait, he had an epiphany and he's not going to run. Wait, he's going to run, but if he doesn't get the GOP endorsement he won't run. Bruce Castor is the GOP front runner and yet he thought it was important to tell The Times Herald he won't run without his party's endorsement. Joe Hoeffel, well, he's going to run without DEM Chair Marcel Groen's blessing. Wait, no he's not.
Seriously, gentlemen, if you think you're the right man for the job, just run.
The Dems are looking hard a Josh Shapiro and would like him to be the front runner.
And what in the world is Kate Harper thinking? She ran in '07 and she's running again.
The Scoop doesn't think for a moment she has a snowball's chance and that she's going to just take votes away from the GOP's endorsed candidate.
