Rove andLimbaugh Top List of Most Talked-about Pundits

More news that will make the left flip out.

Conventional Wisdom

A political convention is like the prom for the pundits. Our pseudoscientific commentariat popularity contest.


It’s not just a big two weeks for Barack Obama and John McCain; it’s a big two weeks for the pundit class, who’ll spend four days in Denver and then four days in St. Paul incessantly chattering about everything the two candidates—and their entourages—say and do. And with some 15,000 credentialed media folk at each convention, the opinionmongers will be trying hard to stand out from the crowd. Who’s most popular? We developed a highly scientific formula to measure their star power, counting blog, newspaper, magazine, and TV-news mentions so far this year, Google hits, and how many presidential debates (in the primaries or planned for the general election) they moderated. Then, each pundit’s popularity in each category was calculated as a percentage of the highest score, and those five percentages were averaged. (So, theoretically, a dominating pundit who topped each tally would end up with a popularity score of 100.) Here’s the top 40.

I was listening to Limbaugh the other day on youtube talking about personal appearance in America. I have to say he said more about nothing than even I could believe. I guess being on radio and having to fill time with words makes you adept at repetitious nonsense but no wonder America's educational standards are dropping. I wish someone would start a station that read the classics so some more intelligent listeners would turn off this fool's ramblings.

Why not listen to his show and not a tape on Youtube? Liberal talk radio is a dud becuase unlike with Rush, libs preach hate and intolerance

Your post reflects the liberal arrogance that turns off so many people. If you do not agree with us your are stuipd is the main talking point with liberals

And libs realy get pissed when people choose to listen to folks like Rush and Karl Rove. That is why Dems want the Fairness Doctrine brought back, so libs can force people to listen to what they have to rant about - or force stations to drop the conservative hosts
