Some guy from Oklahoma vs some guy from Nevada

As the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid bears special responsibility for failing to direct attention to the central challenges of our time. His floor strategy seems to be focused on saving Democrats more than democracy. I would relish a debate on tax earmarks, spending cuts and competing budgets (if there were competing budgets), yet the votes he seems most interested in scheduling — such as tax breaks for big oil companies — are designed for short-term political gain rather than long-term deficit reduction.

Lemme see. Oklahoma with 5 Congressional districts and Nevada with 4. The 5 districts in Oklahoma might want to understand that the 4 districts in Nevada give orders to the 53 districts in California. Maybe the 30 million of us in California don't give a damn it it means taking orders from some guy in Nevada.
