First, a brief correction. Peter Vento is Bruce's son, not brother. Second, you can preview what primary contests are in your Minnesota House district at http://www.MyBallot.net. As Chuck noted, it poses a question for those of us in parties without any contested races in the primary. I support people getting out to vote in every election, but I just don't have a dog in this fight.
