Right Wing News emailed more than 225 right-of-center bloggers and asked them to send us a list of whom they considered to be their “Favorite People On The Right.” Representatives from the following 51 blogs responded…

All bloggers were allowed to make anywhere from 1-12 unranked selections and were allowed to choose anybody on the right or generally perceived to be on the right that they liked: Republican, Conservative, Libertarian, politician, preacher, blogger, columnist, radio host, you name it! The bloggers were also told to keep in mind that their selections needed to be still alive and that the poll wasn’t about electability. The goal was to get bloggers to choose the people they personally like &/or respect the most on the right.

Without further ado, here are the right-of-center bloggers’ favorite people on the right with the number of votes beside of each selection in parentheses:
