[quote=Anonymous]I agree with why we should vote for those positions but I also totally agree with you. For certain positions - County Clerk, Democratic Central Committee, Register of Wills, Sheriff and dare I say, judges - yes, I want to know your positions but more importantly, I just want to know if you are competent or not. Your policy position may line up 100% with mine but if you aren't competent, I don't want to vote for you.

I find it especially hard for judges - they are not allowed to campaign. I don't hear much about the judges. Are they competent on the bench? A few years ago, right before  a primary or general election, there was a story that came out about one of the judges who was on the ballot. Turns out she had a DUI or something like that.

I forget if she was a sitting judge or not. I may have read her views and agreed with them, but once I saw that small article about her DUI (or whatever it was), that pretty much was more important to me than her policy positions so I did not vote for her.[/quote]
