1. And who chose to use that perceived power to OPPOSE Bush and his agenda?

And who chose to USE their perceived influence to SUPPORT Bush on his terrorism and Iraq war policies between 2001-2006?

Tora Bora?

Downing Street Memos?

3. I was wondering that myself...

They must be excluded for some reason...

I didn't look through the entire 50, but they weren't in the top 35 or so...

I like what they said about Lieberman, Number 32:

32. JOE LIEBERMAN
65
Independent Democrat Senator, Connecticut

Lieberman seems to relish his “ideological independence” in a narrowly divided Senate. But lap it up now, Joe: Your stock will plummet if the Democrats, as expected, widen their majority in the ’08 elections.

6. Thanks...my typing is awful!

5. She does squat with her power

Except beat up Democrats. That's what I've been saying. When you wonder where the media is getting their ideas about the Democratic Party - it's from Hillary Clinton. The most powerful Democrat in DC, because we know Reid & Pelosi don't have her power.

8. And here some people told me...

You didn't have a sense of humor...

But I guess they were wrong!!!

7. Mark Penn? Robert Gibbs? Joe Lieberman? Heaven help us..

there are so many consultants there.

And Clinton and Obama people....and just about no one else.

Guess that tells us all we need to know. :shrug:

9. So why does she have the lead???????

I can only surmise that repubs vote for Hillary in those polls. They WANT to run against her because they know they can beat her. A lot of the formerly repub public has become independents and they will vote for ANY dem but Hillary.
