2014 San Bernardino County Sheriff Race--Could it be closer call than convention would think??

Sheriff John McMahon (San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors' appointed top cop) has had a couple of campaign kickoffs (good for him).  To this blogger , the most revealing fact to date [picked up by the Colton City News in their June 27, 2013 edition] is the fact that not only is he endorsed by District Attorney Michael Ramos, but he is using Michael Ramos' political consultant from the 2010 election (to "manage the campaign"), David Ellis of Delta Partners, LLC. Ellis is one of the best, so why would McMahon need him with the blessing of  his "created" incumbency and a low turn out election that tends to favor conservatives? Could it be that McMahon's online degree from Union Institute & University be the type of qualification people might be concerned about? Could it be that he was forced on the citizens by a Board of Supervisors (like Mitzelfelt was)? Could it be people are frustrated with the lack of answers on his involvement in the POST certification scandal?
.
We live in strange times for sure and with his one announced opponent (Paul Schraeder) promising to "protect your rights in every way possible, amongst those being your Second Amendment Rights, Your Due Process Rights, Your Right to Privacy & Your Right to Life and Property" and wearing an "Oath Keeper" [www.oathkeepers.org] shirt one of the times I heard him speak (so presumably he is a member?), I for one would like to hear more and even have a couple televised debates at say the County Board of Supervisors facilities perhaps moderated by the local League of Women Voters?
