It's the conservative pundit shootout.

Please no complaining about names left out!

Gotta go with El Rushbo.  Clear, coherent and very funny.  His show is far more entertaining than Hannity's...though Sean was surprisingly good when he had Howard Stern in studio for the entire program not long ago.  Honorable mention must go to Mark "F. Lee" Levin.

As he was the closest choice to a libertarian that was offered in this poll.

Rush it is!

On the other hand I'd vote for this lady if I could.  Makes me Proud to be conservative.

I have been listening to Rush since the beginning. He is the King!

No complaints but one can not honestly vote without your favorite esteemed writer listed.

Victor Davis Hanson.......sorry it could be Hansen as I do not pay attention if he is a Dane or or a Norwegian planted in America.

Your list though Mr. Sheffield contains many zebras of a different stripe from Novaks supply side to George Will's big brother to Ann Coulter taste of the week date your male pretending conservatism.

Rush is the current most effective although he has gone through some very self destructive binges the past few years in his kryptonite saga walk among the mortals.

He seems to have a habit of diminishing women, adding "ette" to terms like "reporter" for women reporters. And he invariably calls Senator Clinton "Mrs. Clinton." Like her or not [and I don't], she is a US Senator and should be afforded her title.

My pick was Charles Krauthammer. I've often wished he had his own program and would just sit behind a desk and share his knowledge on all sorts of topics, not just political, with us lesser beings.

What's the purpose of this "poll"? 

No Tammy Bruce

listen to the video about planted questions

Mrs. Clinton can you tell us how to remove stains from dresses?

There are a few of these I am not very familiar with: Sowell, Krauthammer, and Ingraham. I voted for Malkin based more on her website than what few times I have seen her on TV.  She has stood up to threats to our sovereignty by highlighting things like LOST and illegal immigration.  She also wins my vote for her recent comments on Guiliani : "...If Republicans are going to decide that Giuliani is the best standard-bearer for the party, they better do so with eyes wide open and absolute candor. He is–at best–only marginally better than Hillary Clinton on immigration and border security..."

Mark Levin

I'm not complaining. This is a "write-in" vote. ;-)

Someone asked me once if I agree with Rush. I said, "No. He agrees with me." As Rush has stated more than once, he validated the opinions of everyday conservatives who's beliefs were never, ever reflected in modern media. He is without question one of the most brilliant thinkers of our age and is gifted by God with the ablity to express those thoughts in such a clear and concise way that many liberals have even become convinced of their beautiful truth.

He is passionate, humorous, honest, and personally humble while using a broadcaster's bombast and bravado only as a tool to illustrate liberal absurdity and communicate the ideals of our God-given liberties, limited government, and self-reliance.

He is one of a kind .

Guess we'll just go eat worms.

Sarc? SARC????????

 Each of these commentators has things that I like.  I had to vote for Laura Ingraham because she's really great at pointing out the hypocrisy of the left. 

George Will is, perhaps, the most thoughtful of the bunch and, sometimes, doesn't seem as conservative as some people would like. He does, however, force you to think about issues differently, which is the point of being a commentator. 

Thomas Sowell is another of those commentators that forces you to think about issues differently.  He generally expands on knowledge, you already feel you have, and is good at pointing out the failures of the left, as far as their ideas are concerned.

Ann Coulter is fun to read.  Many times you have to ask, "Can you really say that?" then you think about what she said and understand why she said it the way she did.  My problem with Ann, as opposed to the others, is she'd have a hard time persuading a liberal she was right (they'd be too busy trying to pick apart what she said) while the others present calmer arguments that say the same thing and force liberals to think about why they think the way they do.

Anyway, that's my opinion.

Democrats: Specializing in "high tech lynching" since 1987.

I prefer Charles Krauthammer. Like three fingers of single malt over a few ice cubes you never have to reach to get his point.

My favorite conservative is actually "the great one" Mr Mark Levin.

What about Dennis Prager?

I enjoy a few of the Pundit's on this site, so they are my write in.  I am fine with Rush, Ann, Boortz, Ingraham, and Beck although I hardly ever listen to them any more. But the one that get's the liberals really smoking is Michelle, so I voted for her.

I pushed Sean, but I love RUSH.

Bill Kristol is by far the best in my humble opinion.

The smartest too.  But I voted for Charles K who is also very top notch.  And, coincidently, both are Jewish. (I thought these guys were supposed to be Dumbocrats, which makes them even smarter!)

I've really taken a liking to Glenn Beck of late. He seems to cut to the chase as well as anyone, and anyone who can write "An Inconvenient Book" gets kudos for the title alone. But I wouldn't want any on this list to disappear.

With so many fine choices (listed and unlisted), perhaps we should set this up as a head-to-head competition, narrowing the field in a college basketball tournament grid-like fashion until just one pundit remains.

(Just for fun, put Randi Rhodes or Al Franken in the play-in game.)

Ann and Kraut, neck and neck! 

Ann eats everybody's lunch.

Charles always leaves Mara Liasson looking stupid.

Beck is one of my faves also.
