interesting to see that hilary is ranked only 41st among senators <<<<<>>>>>

not surprising, while deference norm has historically been less prevalent in senate than in the house (where practice has shifted somewhat from deference to policy specialists to deference to party leaders), members have to *earn* power/respect and first-termers have a deficit in both areas...because new senators are generally unwilling to sit quietly for a term or two and wait their turn, they often introduce lots of bills and make lots of floor speeches but they have little capacity to move much of anything important... mh
