While L. Jesse Bane coasted to an easy victory for the Democratic nomination for sheriff, the Republican results were less clear. Cochran and Price were virtually deadlocked and barely ahead of four challengers. It could take a week for election officials to count absentee and provisional ballots and determine a winner.

You can get the latest results at the Harford County’s election results page. It looks like there’s a definite gap between Cochran/Price and Tritt/Benedetto, but you never know what may turn up during recounts and such.

Hey, even if Dave doesn’t make it, he can always run as an Independent… right?

On May 18th of this year, Jake Hollin was awarded Teacher of the Year at The John Carroll School. Jake is a devoted husband, father of four of the sweetest little girls I’ve ever seen, and he’s the leader of our little band of brothers and sisters. I think Jake sees blogs as a passing fad that only interests 13-year-old girls, 35-year-old perverts and political activists… but he’s also been John Carroll’s wrestling coach for a number of years, so I’m not going to mess with him!

Cheryl Gill isn’t just a secretary an administrative assistant at Chesapeake; she’s also Miss Preakness 2006. Recently Cheryl appeared on WJZ during the Preakness. She also appeared on WBAL 1090AM, WMAR Channel 2, ESPN SportsCenter, the Tony Bruno Show, WZBA 100.7FM, WIYY (98 Rock) and who knows where else. As a matter of fact, the girl just might be Miss America one day…

Dave Tritt is all over the place. You may find him in the Baltimore Sun, the Aegis, the Examiner, or helping someone who’s stranded on the side of the highway. It’s more likely, however, that you’ll find him faithfully serving his family. He’s running for Harford County Sheriff this year, and I have a hunch he’s going to win — but I know that even if he doesn’t, he’ll still be a loving husband and dad, and that’s more important to him.

Now I need to be completely honest here: I really don’t care how famous or popular these folks are… I just think it’s weird that y’all might open the newspaper or turn on the radio, and there’d be the person who sits across the living room from me every other week. Yeah, I like to brag! “Our Care Group’s the coolest Care Group!”

“The Aegis recently called the sheriff’s race the most important election this fall. I almost agree with them (for the first time ever). Honestly, I did not know who our sheriff was until about a year ago when Derald Guess was murdered. I was not impressed with Golding back then when he attempted to play down the tragedy by saying that gang activity was in its infancy. Come on man. A family man was just shot in the head in a gang initiation. That is not infancy.”

The more I hear about Harford County’s present law enforcement situation, the more it sounds like it’s time for a change in the Sheriff’s Department.

Dave is currently running for Harford County (MD) Sheriff… as I’m a Baltimore County resident, it’s not looking like he’ll be able to get a vote from me. I figure maybe if I can at least get his site to show up on Google or something, that’ll make up for it. If not, I guess I’ll just have to move to Harford County in time to update my voter registration…
