Paul Morrison's obsession

By Diane Silver

This is not the attorney general I thought I voted for. Using the Kansas Open Records Act, the Topeka Capital-Journal today documents Attorney General Paul Morrison's extensive (that's an understatement) phone relationship with Linda Carter.

The question now -- in the scandal that won't die -- is whether Morrison's downfall will cripple the fight to take back Kansas from the far right. Right now most politicians and political scientists I've interviewed say it won't, but that remains to be seen.
