Montco GOP's All Shook Up!

PAWaterCooler has been live blogging results of the Montco GOP Convention. Incumbent county controller Eric Kretschman withdrew his candidacy and Bob Sanders will now be the GOP candidate on the ballot. The first ballot for county commissioner has come out with Bruce Castor and incumbent Jim Mathews getting the most votes. We will have to read the papers tomorrow for all the details and final balloting.

One concern I have had in both Montco and Bucks is that the boards of commissioners could end up losing what little diversity they have had. Both are currently made up of two white male Republicans and one white female Democrat. When the dust settles in early November we could end up with three while males on both boards. Not that there's anything inherently wrong with that; it's just nice to see a different face once in a while.
