My picks are:
Senate: Elaine Marshall (polls the best for beating Burr, strong background as Sec of State & Former State Senator, best on gay rights, & to quote Marcoplos she is the "only antiwar candidate")
County Commissioner: Joal Broun
Sheriff: Clarence Birkhead
Judge (Calabria seat): Jane Gray
Judge (Elmore seat): Leto Copely
Looks like a strong line up to me:
So I haven't actually voted yet, but I'm scheduling time to make sure I do it next week.
