Looking for some info on the Justices up for vote in CA. Lots to vote for, not much info.

Any progressive positions on any of the names on the ballot?

Thanks so much!

1. CA League of Women Voters has some County by County info, for what it's worth.

3. Here's the results of my research -- not much, but hope it helps.

I've been researching the judges and I'm not voting either yes or no on Tani G Cantil-Sakauye -- just know that she is an Arnie appointee and is new.

I'm voting no on Chin because he voted that prop 8 was constitutional;
I'm voting yes on Moreno because he didn't

I can't find too much on the Court of Appeals, but one progressive woman said to vote yes on the following: Mallano, Johnson, Ashmann, Perren, and Zelon -- otherwise just leave them blank.

4. Links to Dem Party county committees/local endorsements

The links are at the California Democratic Party website here:

5. Moreno is the only progressive/democrat

and he's targeted by the teabaggers.

The rest were all appointed by Republicans.

6. And Ashmann and Armstrong are endorsed for Court of Appeal

Where the local Dem links really help is in the downballot local races, like Superior Ct. Judge, local School Supt., County Assessor, Health Care District Board Member, etc.
