Here’s something we missed until our good friend Jackie Siciliano from the Sarah Palin Blog brought it to our attention. Mediaite, a left wing website that tracks the media, also ranks the power of TV pundits. 175 pundits in all made their list.
When it comes to being the most powerful, and influential, it’s Sarah Palin all the way. And not just on television. Karl Rove is ranked number two, but as Jackie points out on her website, when you study the various ranking points, it’s a distant second.
You’ll notice that in every category of influence, Sarah is either number one or number two.
Steve Flesher at Conservatives4Palin has a little more on this, in an article taking on “Moaning Joe” Scarborough, MSNBC’s resident liberal who plays a Conservative on television, and Tucker Carlson, the misogynist publisher of The Daily Caller, whose “Senior Editor” we called out a few days ago for having not one, but two articles begging Sarah to endorse Mitt Romney, while at the same time deeming her irrelevant.
From C4P:
When the left attempts to smear and distort Palin’s record and performance as a candidate in 2008, we expect it. However; when alleged conservatives purposely disparage their party’s last VP nominee, it can be off-putting (considering their early calls for unity during the primary). We know Palin’s excellent and well-vetted record is in the public domain. We also know she did much more for the massive conservative victory in 2010 than either Scarborough or Carlson did.
However; a look at Mediaite’s real-time ranking of power-players might explain the recent cheap shots. Business-as-usual might be good for politicians in Washington, but with Palin’s presence in the world of influence and commentary, it’s becoming more competitive for pundits and journalists of every stripe.
Aside from having his Politico piece re-tweeted only 25 times in more than 12 hours, Joe Scarborough ranks at #30 among radio show hosts and an even-worse #62 among TV hosts. From the looks of these numbers, it looks like “Morning Joe” might as well say “goodnight!” What’s interesting is Mediaite claims the show “generates headlines” but explains that the ratings never seem to correlate.
Tucker Carlson of Daily Caller ranks at #12 for online editors and #32 among TV pundits. While these numbers are a little better than Scarborough’s, they’re still lacking considering how long Tucker’s been in business as a pundit.
Considering these dismal rankings, you’d think GOPe pundits like Scarborough and Carlson would want to see who currently ranks as #1 to get an idea of how to appeal to more people to gain more interest.

Steve is wasting his breath on “Moaning Joe” and Bow-tie Man. Those two will never get it, because they aren’t Conservatives. And they aren’t Sarah Palin!
It’s amazing how this woman who we are told is absolutely irrelevant [at least 100 times a day] is so completely relevant! So relevant, she’s America’s top opinion leader.
Of course, chances are you already knew that.
Thanks again Jackie.
You haven't noticed because your head has been up mitt's anti-palin butt!
Conservative leaders and strong Christians such as the Palins do draw some intense hatred, even the Palin children draw some of the troll hatred.
I don’t know if it is the Christianity, or the conservatism, or being female that attracts the Palin haters, perhaps the combination of all three is just too much for some.
What an ignorant statement.
It's widely known that magic Mormon underpants will prevent anything from going up a Mormon's butt.
It's one of the original design specs.
I agree, you don't.
So now you have more time to make me a sandwich.
You sure seem to foam at the mouth about 'em quite a bit though.
Foam? That's what you call it when one opposes abortion and same sex marriage and socialistic healthcare and appointment of liberal judges, a cult leader candidate who wants to lead USA? I guess you embrace evil for America or just a dead fish going with the flow.
No one is messing with it but you.
Because I don't flip out and foam at the mouth over folks
who want to see Obama voted out of office? Because I don't
hop up and down and rave about Romney's deficiencies?
Let me tell you something, Spunky: All your hopping and foaming
isn't going to make a dime's worth of difference in anything and
neither would mine. So I don't expend the energy on it. If you
want to think that your raving and ranting are making a difference, more power to you.
Ascribing motives to folks who don't jump around screaming about
the injustice of it all is pretty stupid. More power to you on that, too.
You're dissatisfied with the nominee. I get it. So am I.
But screaming and foaming and hopping around like a wounded duck isn't going to change a damned thing.
Now go make me a sandwich.
And good hates evil. "Hate what is evil; cling to what is good." Romans 12:9
Deficiencies you call it? That explains your foam.
Let me tell you something, Spunky:
Hey milktoast, your spunk is reserved for your anti-palin, anti-conservative rants. So save your lip service, you have NOTHING to say that Romney hasn't already said - "roll over conservatives, my well-planned trick/political maneuver worked on you - I told you the Reagan Era is dead, I/evil have you now, bow".
Are you Pentecostal?
if you’re right than my head is safe from the butt.
Are you a Mormon?
Hey, I give props to Palin™ for this. WTG, Saint Sarah!
You give whatever pleases the bishop of a cult. Mitt’s mutts never fail him as they eat the chow he gives them in his bowl of deception.
Yeah, I'm a Mormon. I'm the really odd kind that creates
really cool graphics making fun of the magic underpants.
You've already seen the Yoda one upthread, I like this one better:
It not only mocks the underpants, but even has a picture of Joe Smith on the desk.
Used it as part of another one too, but it's not the best work:
I'm listed on the "Free Republic Anti-Mormon" blog, right side, third block down:
http://framreport.blogspot.com/
Yeah, I'm a Mormon, alright. Try to know something before you start spouting crap.
And where's my sandwich?
Or posts a link to a “gasp” blog!
I didn’t know I was a Mitt-bot.
What DID I spout? SHOW ME. I asked a question with 4 words - can't be much spouting in that - but your NEED to embellish takes precedence.
Asking a question is spouting crap? All that work and 'foam' when a simply yes or no would suffice. You do show some spunk when you don't like something, that's obvious.
Do you suppose that anyone who has been FORCED by REALITY to SETTLE for Romney is a Romney supporter?
Let me tell you, they ain't. You spouting all kinds of Pentecostal
fire and brimstone at 'em ain't helping anything. It just makes you look like a nut.
That's your prerogative. Hell, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.
But consigning folks to hell and pretending they are some kind
of evil conspirators out to destroy the Country just because they
don't make a career out of foaming at the mouth about Romney is kind of ate-up.
Point is, you're getting all excercised over stuff you can't control.
Even worse, you're probably wrong about more than half of the motives you ascribe.
You paint with a broad brush and make too much stew from a single oyster.
While you should have been making me a sandwich.
Since your posts include things that you are in your head and not in the posts you are responding to, this is just another display at that.
And here's another one of NO evidence to support but just one of your wild claims EVEN AFTER I just told NO ONE can consign anyone to hell - but, nontheless, here you go, again, spouting and foaming..... consigning folks to hell and pretending they are some kind of evil conspirators
And think I'm trying to control? LOL! Mitt HAS and did it by LIES and instilling fear into the easily deceived.
I will speak out against evil, the godless Romney and Barry, and DO EXPECT that milktoasts' would see it as nutty.
So squirrely - go hide, lest you see more of what offends you, what you ignore and what makes you foam - THE TRUTH.
Do you wash your hands after handling them snakes?
You just go ahead and keep on imagining all manner of evil
controlling anyone who doesn’t join you in frothing and spitting
about things you can’t control.
I’m sure it’s cathartic.. or something.. for you.
Now where the hell is my sandwich?
