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 Kate Harper still hasn't withdrawn and the convention is next week.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.

Citizen's Bank withdrawing from Norristown
Citizen's Bank will not renew its lease in Norristown, which is up in February. The massive building on Lafayette Street next to the transportation center can't be more than 15 years old. This is indeed a blow for The county seat. The Scoop has heard the Montgomery County Economic Development Corporation is in a panic to find a new tenant.

Cop gone bad
The Scoop has heard the arrest of a Conshohocken police officer is imminent. Seems one of the borough men in blue has been taking quarters from the local parking meters without permission, and subsidizing quite the lifestyle while doing so. Said cop gone bad could be behind bars soon.
