Hoeffel, Castor casting shadows

Philly Inquirer 10/22/07

Strategists in both parties agree that Castor and Hoeffel probably will take two out of the three commissioner seats at stake, with Damsker and Matthews, who was the GOP nominee for lieutenant governor last year, in a close contest for the third spot that will determine party control.

Since 1992, Montgomery has supported the Democrat in presidential elections by ever-increasing margins. The county also went for U.S. Sen. Bob Casey (D., Pa.) and Gov. Rendell.

If the Democrats win the two commissioner seats, they would control the government of the state's third-largest county for the first time in 140 years.
