I wrote a research paper on megachurches last year, and Ted Haggard was one of the primary subjects. Harpers ran an article a couple of years ago about his rising influence among evangelicals, suggesting that he had surpassed James Dobson, Brother Pat, and Jerry Falwell. He's a ridiculously effective pastor, and talked on the phone with the President or his advisors on a weekly basis. I'd put him on the cockpunch list, but really, who could take the irony? Oops.
