Election 2010 – Meet the Candidates: Rod McLeod, Superior Court Judge, Seat No.6

It’s hard enough keeping up with one’s day to day nonsense in the great city of San Francisco, so when it comes time to cast your vote, outside of the inane commercials produced for high-profile candidates, it can be hard to find out anything about anyone else. By no means
