Influential Conservatives and Liberals

Over at the London Telegraph, they have a listing of the 100 most influential Conservatives and 100 most influential Liberals.

The lists are both pretty much what I expected,give or take, although I strongly disagree with the order of both lists. Please. Rudy Giuliani should not be #1 on the Conservative list. There should be a "Moderates" list. - Rudy could top that one. And I think Ted Kennedy should be much further toward the top of the liberal list. In addition, the liberal list names guess who at #98:

CINDY SHEEHAN
Activist

Became America’s most prominent anti-war activist after her son Casey was killed in Baghdad in 2004, founding a “peace camp” outside President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas and was arrested frequently at demonstrations.
Her influence has waned, however, as her behaviour has become increasingly erratic and he has begun to direct much of her ire against the Democratic party, which she believed is insufficiently anti-war. Has vowed to run for Congress against Nancy Pelosi should the House Speaker fail to take steps to impeach Bush

Since when is a media hog considered influential?

But then, this is a London perspective of American politics. The Brits don't have much of a clue of what's really going on over here.
