There are black lists, grocery lists, sh..t lists and graduation lists. Then there\u2019s Capitol Weekly\u2019s 100 List, which is a little bit of all of them, and more.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re the first ones to complain about lists \u2013 Forbes immediately comes to mind \u2013 but we make a shameless exception for ours, which at least gives a partial snapshot of the Capitol\u2019s political players.<\/p>\n
There are lots of people who aren\u2019t on this list, and should be, and there may be some who are here and don\u2019t belong. But in the end, we\u2019re pretty happy with our little lineup and we hope you are, too.<\/p>\n
There are a couple people in the list who are there just because we like them; see if you can spot them. We don\u2019t apologize, though: We need friends, too.<\/p>\n
This week, we offer 1 through 50, and the difference from last year is dramatic. The Brownies, exiled from the Capitol for so many years, are back \u2013 in spades.<\/p>\n
See you next year\u2026.<\/p>\n

\nIn any election cycle when the conversation turns to Democratic political consultants, Garry South\u2019s name invariably pops up. He\u2019s handled major campaigns over the years, including the classic 2002 race for governor when his intervention in the GOP primary paved the way for the improbable victory of Gray Davis. When he\u2019s not handling candidates, his advice is sought by state and national campaigns, and he reportedly is helping Obama\u2019s 2012 effort in California. He had a misfire last year when he got in a public dispute with former client Gavin Newsom, but we doubt it will slow him down in the long run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
