Don Hazen, publisher alternet.org
John Podesta founder of center for american progress
Josh Marshall talkingpointsmemo.com
George soros
Rob Stein, founder of Democracy Alliance, an organization of wealthy progressives that is funding progressive projects.
Presidential Primary Candidates (I add four of the five hesitantly)
Edwards, Obama, Richardson, Dodd, Biden
-influential pseudoliberal moderate but really right wing democrats
I expect these to be listed in the Telegraphs top 20, except, possibly, Feinstein
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi; They're pro war, so they must be right wing dems.
Rahm Emanuel
Chuck Schumer
Hillary Clinton
Bill Clinton
Sen. Diane Feinstein
Cross Partisans (who swing both ways, like Lieberman)
Chris Matthews
Wolf Blitzer
Lou Dobbs
Blue Dog Dems
So... there's my incomplete list. Who would you include? Who would you throw out? And why? Remember, I'm not listing people already listed by the telegraph, like Keith Olbermann, Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert. Frankly, I think Olbermann and Stewart should be in the top 20 or 40 at the least.
You'll note I haven't mentioned ANY conservatives. I'll leave the fun of listing them to you, our readers.
Lastly, who do you think is THE one single most influential Progressive?
