Can we fit that into the article somewhere? --Matt Innis (Talk) 11:18, 26 October 2007 (CDT)

liberal form Missouri?

I would not deny that Truman was fairly liberal in his presidency, in terms of economic policy and civil rights. But he was a senator from Missouri, which is part of the ultra-conservative Old South. How did he get elected there? Just curious. I also wonder the same question about Lyndon Johnson (Texas). Yi Zhe Wu 22:28, 26 October 2007 (CDT)
