					<description>Jeremy's a nice guy but he doesn't belong anywhere near this list.  He's a Young Republican, which says it all.</description>

					<description>Jimmy Scott will clearly be in the Top 5 if the folks putting this together have actually left their clubhouse and done some real work.

Funny that he, too, is a founding member of the M^2.</description>

					<description>Funny, Roy and Margaret.

Not only did it hit a nerve, Roy, but his "God-given name" is that of a character from Caddyshack.

I guess, like Rodney Dangerfield who played him, he gets no respect.</description>

					<description>M^2 is very well connected; similar to a trade association on a slightly smaller scale and not focused on one area of influence.  Most of its influence is focused within the judicial branch since its members(correctly or not) that it will have a greater influence in this state than the legislature.
There is an inner circle who are very active and a wider circle of supporters who provide mostly just financial support.  They have been around since the mid-80's but have grown in prominence since then.
Also, while they are mostly Republicans, they are not exclusively members of the GOP.</description>
