Peculiar strategy. Maybe Arnold's handler knows he needs votes in LA in order to be reelected and hopes appointing the mayor's sister as a judge will help.

Why is he appointing Superior Court judges for L.A.? In San Diego they come up for a vote.

If he wants the democrat vote, he should register as one!

These are interim appointments to fill vacancies for those who either died, retired, or were given other appointments. After fulfilling the remainder of the 6 year term, they will have to run in a future election, but "incumbent" is definitely an advantage on the ballot. The same thing goes for San Diego (and for every county).
