Conservative leaders, and the bloggers who love them (or not)

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Right Wing News, a fairly prominent conservative blog, conducted an interesting poll of its brethren, asking other right-of-center bloggers to pick their favorite people on the right, and their least favorite people on the right. The voting process was pretty wide open — participants could pick anybody (there were no names to choose from). I’m not quite sure what to make of the results, but I thought they were interesting enough to mention.

First up, the bloggers’ least favorite conservatives. (via Ron Chusid)

1. Ron Paul (unranked last year)

2. Pat Buchanan (tied for 1st last year)

3. John McCain (tied for 1st last year)

4. Michael Savage (tied for 3rd last year)

4. Larry Craig (unranked last year)

6. Pat Robertson (tied for 3rd last year)

6. Arlen Specter (5th last year)

8. Ann Coulter (6th last year)

8. James Dobson (15th last year)

8. Chuck Hagel (9th last year)

8. Andrew Sullivan (11th last year)

Other notables from this year’s list include Rudy Giuliani in 12th place, Mitt Romney and George W. Bush tied for 14th, and Bill O’Reilly coming in at number 17.

I’m a little surprised at Paul’s unpopularity; I was pleased to see both Robertson and Dobson make the list (conservative bloggers routinely have little use for the religious right), and I suppose Larry Craig’s appearance was inevitable.

Weird, there are people on both lists.

Weird, there are people on both lists.

Those who consider themselves more conservative vary widely in their views...something that was supposedly the weakness of the Democratic Party. You've got to admit, the Republican Party is in a lull - of trying to redefine what is or isn't it's core ideology.
