Progress at the Lawrence Journal-World?

In a the second of two editorials in today's Journal-World, Rep. Dennis Moore is actually characterized as a "moderate or liberal." This is much more accurate than past articles that labelled Moore a "conservative."

There was a slight problem, though. According to editorial, "If there was any overriding message from the November elections, it was that voters wanted to see government run in a different, more cooperative, less contentious manner."

The editorial was about Kansas politics, and there really wasn't much a change in Topeka with last November's election.

There was a major change in Washington and, if the message of the November elections was want the Journal-World says it was, then the editorial would be better directed to Democrats in the U.S. House and Senate, who are currently being less than cooperative with President Bush.
