I wonder how many committees southern Republicans chair in the House....

Deep South could enjoy surge of power in the Senate

I wouldn't consider North Carolina to be in the "deep south".

This, of course, will lessen the legitimacy of Washington even further.

All the more reason for the Deep South to keep its Ranking Member on Energy.

A Senate leadership roster straight from the 1940s.

Good way to broaden their appeal and break back into the mid-west and the purple states.

John Cornyn is number two in the Senate. If CA or NY had a Republican Senator perhaps they would get a chairmanship. Tongue


This is because of 2006 and 2008. The Republicans don't have any midwest or Northeast Republicans with multiple terms except Collins.

Portman if he survives, should eventually get budget and Ayotte one of the foreign policy realted ones.

Which is the entire purpose for having a Senate.

Vitter and Sessions are the only hard-liners in there. Burr- I would put him sort of between the Tea Party Wing and the Establishment Wing of the Republican Party. Maybe Cochran would be in the same boat as Burr. Cochran is more conservative than anyone would think he really is such as hot button issues like immigration and abortion.
