Tail Wagging the Dog

Why is it that two Senators--Max Baucus and Kent Conrad--from two of the smallest states by population--44th and 47th, making up just over one-half of one percent of our country's population--are the two powerhouses when it comes to health care reform? This doesn't seem right.

Take Senators Shumer and Boxer, from New York and California, for example. They together represent about 19% of our population, or some 38 times the people, that Baucus and Conrad do. Isn't that just absurd?
