Where to learn about 2008 judicial races

In a big political year like this one, or in any presidential election year for that matter, it can be awfully tough if you’re a down ballot candidate to get much attention from reporters, even if you’re running for statewide office.

And historically, that’s certainly been true for judicial candidates. No one questions the importance of the offices at stake. But most of the attention is sucked up by presidential, senatorial or gubernatorial campaigns.

Fortunately for the conscientious voters among us there’s votingforjudges.org, which came online in time for the 2006 elections and is still around.

There you’ll find lists of endorsements, including those from newspaper editorial boards, and a full history of news stories that have been written about various campaigns from an array of sources.

The site also will show you all the judicial races you’ll see on your ballot depending on where you live.
