Rep. Michele Bachmann may have become a media magnet as a conservative face of the Republican party, but a new ranking puts her deeply in the ranks of the also-rans of the right.

The Telegraph, an influential British newspaper, is in the midst of listing the 100 most influential conservatives and liberals in the United States to mark the one-year anniversary of the Obama administration's debut.

The Sixth District congresswoman clocked in at the 80th spot on the conservative list. According to the Telegraph:

For the record, the Telegraph says Bachmann's counterpart on the liberal side at No. 80 is Bo Obama, the Portugese water dog that has become "a potent symbol of the uncritical, adoring coverage that the new President has received from the mainstream media."
