    States that won big on these committee assignments are...

    ...states with two committee chairs (California, North Dakota, Massachussetts, Hawaii, West Virgina, and Connecticut.)

    ...Minnesota (beause Amy's great).

    Isn't that just a natural cause of states with 2 Democratic Senators? And some with a lot of seniority (MA, CA, CT, WV Byrd counts for 3). If Feingold had been in longer Wisconsin would have been on that list too.
