Eric Schmidt

Google CEO Eric Schmidt has never run for office or expressed a public interest in it, but he sure spends a lot of time in the company of high-profile politicians. Along with Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer at Microsoft, and a number of leaders from high-tech academia, he has joined President Barack Obama's team of technology advisers. He also supported then-candidate Obama on the campaign trail last year.

But Schmidt is no stranger to Capitol Hill. He's made numerous visits to D.C. over the years as Google gradually usurped Microsoft as Washington's antitrust scrutiny target of choice.
