LOL — I can’t believe they left the independents off :p
There seems to be a senator missing — Mississippi?
Slight nit-pick: The chart displays a ranked list of “power” in the Senate, not of Congress. If it were for Congress, Nancy Pelosi should be neck and neck with Senator Reid and I’d expect half a dozen House committee chairmen ahead of Sen. Kennedy, just on the basis of the power of the purse.
I am strongly in agreement with some of the other commenters here… a methodology would be very nice.
DC is correct, Senator Roger Wicker of MS appears to be missing. However, both independents (Lieberman (I-CT) and Sanders(I-VT))are present, Kian Wilcox.
