The Daily Telegraph’s Washington Correspondants are hard at work this week putting out a list of the top 100 most influential liberals and conservatives in America. Today they released numbers 40-60 on each side and our very own Congressman Keith Ellison made the list at 54, ahead of luminaries like James Carville and Stephen Colbert.

Not bad for a freshman Congressman!

UPDATE: I wrote this post before finishing the article, and thus failed to note that Al Franken was ranked at 49, right ahead of House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. Thats a lot of influence!

    The Telegraph is a Tory rag. I also don’t think they are out to praise Keith or any person on this list. It’s also news to most DFLers that he has ambitions on running for Senate “and beyond.”

    I was not included in the poll, if I had he would have ranked lower.

    That is hilarious because when he was in the MN legislature he wasn’t even the 54th most influential liberal in Minnesota. Not even close.

    Keith Ellison is not a name you can trust.
