Indiana has someone in the top twenty on each list: Congressmen Mike Pence (#19) for the conservatives, Senator Evan Bayh (#10) for the liberals.
Toby Harnden explains why George W. Bush comes in at #21: "the list is about the future rather than the past."
Hi, Matt. There are two other ex-Hoosiers on the lists. At No. 25 on the conservative lists is R. Emmett Tyrell, founder o The American Spectator. He first published the magazine in Bloomington. At No. 29 on the liberal list is Vernon Jordan, from Fort Wayne.
