Today is primary day in Kansas. All you Kansans out there, forget about the heat, fortify yourselves with a dip in the pool, a spritz from the lawn hose and a bit of iced tea. The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Get out and vote!

Who should you support in the state board race? See this Who's Who about the race. More information on the election is at Round One of the Evolution Election.

Other races are also important. Watch for what happens in particular House races and in the race for the Republican nomination for the state insurance commioner. Here's a post explaining the race.
