What's the most powerful political position in a US state, comparable to the prime minister in European countries? Speaker of the House of Representatives? At least Michigan has a 31 yrs. old Speaker of the House currently. Or is it more like state governor is like both the European prime minister and president combined?

Governor is the highest position in US state governments. They're basically the president/prime minister of the state.

Ok, youngest current governor seems to be 41.
