Stephen Colbert One of TIME'S Top 5 Most Influential People

As Stephen Colbert pointed out last night, he's still eligible for Time's #1 Most Influential Person, but is still getting thwarted by Korean pop sensatio, Rain.

We thought this might be a nice time to check in with the presidential candidates to see how influential they really are. First up, non-candidates Mike Huckabee and Al Gore are actually leading the pack and are only slightly edged out by supermodel Heidi Klum and actor George Clooney.

At #36 Barack Obama comes in a distant but respectable third to these two, but he still can't pull ahead of Wendy Kopp.

John McCain has actually lost ground to the Cast of High School Musical, and is no more influential than former Russian president Putin. How's that going to help him in international affairs?

And finally, Hillary Clinton isn't doing so well, coming in at… Well, I'll be polite and not say. She's behind someone I've never heard of though.
