I got my absentee ballot today! Now, how should I vote?

Thu Oct 12, 2006 at 05:46:55 PM PDT

Today was an especially good day as I finally received my absentee ballot.  I will spare you the details of how I'm voting, just a straight Democratic ticket.  Yes, I am voting for Cruz Bustamante.  I have to say this election is a major dissapointment for me.  After horrible primary campaigns, I am stuck voting for Angelides (who I have little hope for).  His campaign has been absolutely dreadful.  Still this Foley scandal has legs and if Republicans stay home, Arnold could still lose.  I am pretty much voting in zero competitive races.  I am voting only to make a statement against the GOP and unfortunately there are no Republicans to take out.  But now, I have some questions on the ballot propositions.  Namely how should I vote?
I know I'm definately voting no on 85 and yes on 87.  And I'm probably voting no on 1b.  But before I cast my ballot, does anyone have any suggestions or arguments to vote on the following props?  Also, there seem to be all these court of appeal justices and supreme court justices I'm supposed to be voting for.  Are these all Arnold's appointments?  If so, perhaps I should vote No on all of them.  Wow, this diary is depressing sounding....well I'm not depressed.  Poll numbers are looking up across the country.  We approach the
