Liberals working for DAs? Is it rare?

Anyone have experience with this? Is the stereotype of the prosecution as homogenously-conservative accurate?
I'm not implying that it ought to be one way or the other, but as someone who is somewhat left-of-center, it would influence my career-path decisions were there an overwhelming bias (in either direction, really--but I assume that there is at least a small net conservative bias among prosecutors). The very few impressions I've gotten from people who do prosecutorial work suggests to me that there is a substantial bias, but I have no way of knowing whether that has more to do with just the geographical area they were from, or whether they were representative of the vocation as a whole.
Any info on the topic is appreciated.
