I count 7 republicans and 3 dems on the press release page of the Gub web site for yesterday.

We should have the President making more visits , not less, but there is always next week to reverse what has hardly been a trend to appoint those more closely attuned to one's political persuasuion, after all.. or is he when he appoints as many dems as he has?

Here is my unofficial tally as of today:

Total
Democrat:             52    34.9%
Republican:           79    53.0%
decline-to-state:     18    12.1%
Total:               149   100.0%

Los Angeles County Superior Court
Democrat:             19    50.0%
Republican:           15    39.5%
decline-to-state:      4    10.5%
Total:                38   100.0%

Of course, this count becomes meaningless since it was determined that at least one had changed their party affiliation right before being appointed.
