They are the one that sets the course for the legislature, and pretty much every thing that happens during the biennial meetings runs through them. The Governor only wields as much power as their cult of personality allows.
As an aside, most of the stuff G.W. Bush claimed during his time as governor was actually the result of actions Bob Bullock took as Lt. Governor.
