Got my ballot yesterday. Dahle for governor, no on all ballot measures except Prop 26, no on all judges as always. Still doing due diligence on row offices and a few other races.
Row officers were tricky for me — in so many of them the Dem is... suboptimal, and the Rs didn't really try at all. Thought the Merc's semi-endorsement of Lara summed it up nicely:
It’s hard to imagine a candidate who could be worse [than Lara, who is a crook]. And then in walked Howell, who demonstrates little idea of why he’s running or what the job of insurance commissioner entails. He was the most ill-prepared candidate for statewide office that we have encountered.
