The 50 most influential US political pundits

yes, this is almost 3 months days old, but i just saw chris matthews talk about it

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/1904702/The-50-most-influential-US-political-pundits.html

redoing the list a bit, taking into accout a trustworthyness and respect factor (should they be so influential ??)

the fact that the majority of these people are conservative white males shows what a falsehood that is the lie of the 'liberal meadea'
