One omission I noted concerned the choices for Superior Court Judge -- no mention of the massive warchest behind Ameli nor the issue that his preferred description (Superior Court litigator) was turned down as not being accurate. This two items made me less comfortable about his candidacy.RMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803199129452084718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550315839527219940.post-53057490163075744962010-11-01T19:58:55.376-07:002010-11-01T19:58:55.376-07:00Yes, apparently she has stated her personal opposi...Yes, apparently she has stated her personal opposition to the death penalty but her committment to enforce it is pretty front and center on her website. I emailed the campaign twice there isn't even a canned response so she, at least as a candidate, gives the strong impression of being pro death penalty and strongly supporting three strikes.Laynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202742050661813668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550315839527219940.post-9166100569231339482010-11-01T19:14:45.701-07:002010-11-01T19:14:45.701-07:00A Google search of Kamala Harris and the death pen...A Google search of Kamala Harris and the death penalty seems to indicate that she is personally opposed to the death pemalty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550315839527219940.post-72785605026827653472010-11-01T16:34:02.506-07:002010-11-01T16:34:02.506-07:00Cooley has intimated that 3 Strikes needed some ch...Cooley has intimated that 3 Strikes needed some changes but in the face of the election, he is certainly downplaying this. This is from his website:<br /><br />With an overall conviction rate of over 95%, his office is a leader in the state for Three Strikes and death penalty convictions...<br /><br />I suspect, that he is in favor of minimalizing the scope of three strikes but he isn't owning that right now.Laynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202742050661813668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550315839527219940.post-57884467619292814282010-11-01T14:17:02.229-07:002010-11-01T14:17:02.229-07:00thanks for this! it's helpful. i would sugges...thanks for this! it's helpful. i would suggest you do a little bit more research about the judges, as difficult as it may be. i'm not sure what your politics are, but for me, i went to different tea party & ultra conservative sites to see who they chose. anyone they highly recommended pretty much meant a "no" from me. people they voted against got a second look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550315839527219940.post-8446410395762407882010-11-01T10:54:03.857-07:002010-11-01T10:54:03.857-07:00Good analysis, but I think you have Cooley wrong o...Good analysis, but I think you have Cooley wrong on three strikes -- he is for reforming it.Zachnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550315839527219940.post-50984457902634980702010-10-29T18:57:00.568-07:002010-10-29T18:57:00.568-07:00I LOVE YOUR BLOG!

It's disheartening that corporations and career pols run so many deceptive campaigns to hijack the initially idealistic citizen initiative proposition program that back around 1912, Hiram Johnson pioneered as the kind of populist Progressive we have few of today.John L.
