TS, << is Senator seen as more "senior" than Governor? I mean, there are more of the former, and they're not wielding executive power, nor are they directly responsible for policy: but they do seem to be placed formally higher.>> I don't think there is any formal ranking scale that is out there but I could be wrong about that. I think that their presence in Washington and dealing with many of the issues that the President has to deal with gives senators the feeling that they could do the job, even though they don't get the administrative experience a governor gets. I forget where I saw the quote with regards to this but found it interesting. It goes something like this. Every day, every Senator gets up, looks in the mirror and feels like they could be the next president of the US. Maybe it is more ego than anything else since there is only 100 of them at any time.
