A reader passed on a link to this highly addictive and unscientific web site which quantifies the clout people have on Twitter.
It’s a 100-point scale, with higher being better, and the site claims to crunch over 35 variables to generate a number that “is highly correlated to clicks, comments and retweets.”

If you find rankings for other politicos, stick them in the comments section.
