Thanks for the 'when not to vote' wisdom (post #30) on your own page - I've forwarded it to my address book.
This is great stuff, thank you!

California Republican Lawyers Association Announces Judicial Endorsements
by Mike Houston - Political Law 10-26-2006 4:37 pm
The influential California Republican Lawyers Association has announced its endorsements for the retention votes for appellate judges. Judicial elections in California are often well below the radar screen and many voters have no idea who they are voting for. In fact, many people tell me that they often do not vote in judicial elections because they know so little about the judges on the ballot.
The CRLA endorsement list (below) is helpful because not only does it provide the CRLA's weight to identifying judges worthy of Republican support but it provides the Governor who appointed the particular judge.
Here is the text of the CRLA press release and the endorsements:
CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN LAWYERS MAKE JUDICIAL RECOMMENDATIONS.
Dear Fellow Republican:
Every year Republican voters complain about the lack of information regarding Judges appearing on their ballots. In an attempt to provide Republican voters with the information they need, the California Republican Lawyers Association have prepared a list of Justices that we recommend.
It is important to point out that in preparing this list we have researched judicial opinions, considered party registration, considered what Governor appointed each Justice, the length of service and spoke to lawyers who have practiced before them. We considered all of these factors in preparing our recommendations. No one factor was dispositive. Furthermore, certain Justices do not appear on our list because their time on the Supreme Court or Court of Appeals has been too brief.
The following list is the result of this research. To learn more about the California Republican Lawyers Association you can visit our website at www.californiarepublicanlawyers.org.

If you think Judges are a non-partisan office, you would be technically correct. But in reality, as attested to by rulings of the 9th Circuit Court, we have judges trying to write the law from the bench. Many of these judges worked their way up through California Courts. We are working to get Judges elected that will rule fairly based on the constitution and existing law. These races are L.A. County wide.Judicial Recommendations:Office No. 8: Bob HenryOffice No. 18: Daviann L. Mitchell*Office No. 102: Hayden ZackyOffice No. 104: Leave BlankOffice No. 144: David W. Stuart* Daviann is our favorite candidateYou have the ability to remove Supreme Court and Court of Appeal Justices with a no vote. Neutral means we are not going to vote on these positions.Supreme Court JusticeNeutral Joyce L. KennardNeutral Carol A.

btw - Joyce L. Kennard and Carol A. Corrigan are LIBS - so beware of info from that post.
Has Corrigan proven to be liberal since her appointment?
I know she was painted as a "moderate" when Arnold appointed her.
