MODERATE voices in the Republican Party aren't reaching the grassroots, or so it seems from the results of a poll by ConservativeHome.com, seeking to discover which pundits will most influence party activists as presidential candidates for 2012 emerge. The poll gives Rush Limbaugh the number one spot and Glenn Beck the second. Here's the full list:

•Rush Limbaugh: 41%
•Glenn Beck: 33%
•Charles Krauthammer: 29%
•Bill O'Reilly: 24%
•Sean Hannity: 21%
•Newt Gingrich: 16%
•Michelle Malkin: 16%
•Mike Huckabee: 13%
•Ann Coulter: 13%
•George Will: 13%

1. "thinkers"?

that list is horrifying, by the way......

[BlueJazz]

8. I think your bottom 5 pictures have more "Thinking" than the whole conservative list.

[NV Whino]

3. Thinkers?

Good god!

4. Mike & George must really be insulted, the rest of the list

is incapable of being insulted or ashamed, and that's why they top that list .

5. Sir or Madame, I question Whether Any of those Could be Called Thinkers?

Rush Limbaugh is a sack of hot gas. Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity are certifiable nutcases. Newt Gingrich is a partisan hack. Crazy Chucky Cabbagebasher and Ann (Look at Me! Look at Me!) Coulter are newspaper grousers and will write anything that will draw attention. George Will is the same. Michelle Malkin is an appartachik who will work for anyone who pays her.

6. You must make up your mind. Which do you want? Thinkers or Republicans?

You can't have both, as has been so glaringly illustrated
in the US House of Representatives of late.

7. "Republican thinker" is a contradiction in terms n/t

[Warpy]

9. HAHAHAHAHA!

They're sunk.

10. What a pathetic ...

... list of people. I don't know that any of them even tell the truth ever, except by accident.

[Harry Monroe]

11. I honestly clicked on your link and thought I'd find the page blank

Republican "thinkers"? Isn't that an oxymoron?

[Atticus]

12. Are you aware that you misspelled the last word in your title? nt

[supernova]

13. Interesting and quite telling

these are all media personalities and not office holders. Rightfully that list should include Boehner, Cantor, perhaps an ex-president or two.

[Pakid]

14. That is a real stretch to call these creature thinkers

I could think of a lot of names to call them but thinkers would never be one of them!!!

[undeterred]

15. You forgot the s at the beginning of the word.

16. Bwahahaha
