The Number One United States Political Pundit Will Drive The Nutroots Crazy!

Well, it is out and according to the London Daily Telegraph, the number one most influential political pundit in the United States is http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/1904702/The-50-most-influential-US-political-pundits.html. . .Karl Rove!
Of course the nutroots, led by the Kosacks at the Daily Kos and the Huff and Puff Post are getting their conspiracy theories out there.
I think that Rush Limbaugh is number one, and the reason is Operation Chaos. The effort that he has led to have Republicans register in key states to become temporary Democrats, vote for Sen. Hillary Clinton, and return to the Republican fold in November. All in the name of creating the divide that engulfs the Democrats now, and quite possibly to the Democrat National Convention in Denver in August.
I think the main reason is that Mr. Rove has just ended his very successful political shepherding of George W. Bush and that some, especially on the other side of the pond, feel his words, more than maybe the actions of Mr. Limbaugh, carry more weight with American voters, and even non-voters.
A surprise is the pseudo-conservative New York Times columnist, David Brooks, in the top 10 at number nine.
Really regrettable is that Comedy Central's John Stewart takes the eighth spot.
Also, surprising he is not higher than sixth is Matt Drudge www.drudgereport.com for I think that he is having an influence similar to Mr. Limbaugh's. And, Mr. Drudge really is not what I would call a pundit. But, that is debatable.
The fun thing about these series in The Telegraph is the seeing how the British view us, Americans, and what makes us tick.
But, accuracy, well. . .
