Really? Tom Frank is writing a book about Kansas, his home state, and 
says it's gotten more conservative. How's KC gotten more liberal?

Actually, not to be pedantic KC is in Missouri.  I lived in KC in the early 
90's, and the Kansas side of the city+suburbs (Johnson County) was actually 
more liberal than the Missouri side.  However it was "Yuppie" country and it was 
comprised of KU graduates.  The Missouri side was more southern than western.  
It was, overall more conservative than New York but less that Omaha, Nebraska 
(were I live in the early 80's)  Like everything, no easy answers.
