Montco Commissioner's Race Set

The Montgomery County GOP seems to have sorted itself out. Republicans Bruce Castor and Jim Matthews have sent out a notice that they will be running for county commissioner as a team. Castor's chosen running mate, Melissa Murphy Weber, decided not to stay in the race, as has Matthew's fellow incumbent commissioner Tom Ellis.

On the Democratic side, incumbent Ruth Damsker and Joe Hoeffel are off and running. Their campaign website is up but there isn't much there at the moment. Nice photo though. (www.votedamskerhoeffel.com).

Just personal speculation -- who will end up being the minority commissioner, Bruce or Joe?

Other interesting questions:

Will Ruth and Joe hold together if things aren't looking good, or will they stick as a team?

Will Joe outpoll Ruth?

If the Dems win, who has Seniority, Ruth or Joe?

Stay tuned, ladies and gents...

Interesting questions. I would guess that they will hold together as a team and that Joe would outpoll Ruth. No idea on seniority. Since Castor and Matthews have already set this out in their "prenup" maybe the Dems will release similar information.

I can say based on meeting I attended that joe and ruth are a solid team. however it may be that the castor matthews team well produce the same success as the t.o. mcnabb combination of 2005
