The “Twitterview” will take place on March 17 at 12:00 noon EST. Anyone interested in suggesting questions to Stephanopoulos may do so by sending him a tweet. George Stephanopoulos is an avid user of the Twitter and Facebook and has a large following at both communities. Senator McCain has taken a liking to Twitter in recent weeks, using the service to critize the recently passed economic stimulus bill.

Topping the list is “The Architect” Karl Rove, followed by Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri), Meet the Press host David Gregory and Presisdent Obama.

The Ten Most Infuential Washingtion Twitterers

1. Karl Rove

2. Sen. Claire McCaskill

3. David Gregory

4. Barack Obama

5. Newt Gingrich

6. Ana Marie Cox

7. Sen. Chuck Grassley

8. Joe Trippi

9. Patrick Ruffini

10. Al Gore

Considering the success of President Obama’s campaign and the time invested in Twitter and other social media tools, I was surprised not to see him at number one. I suspect this is because there’s been only three tweets posted to his account since the end of the election. For the full article, head over to Politco.com.
