You’d think if someone was going to try and skew the poll it would be a bunch of whacko Donald supporters.

That would be fantastic if Bernie makes it. There are so many great choices though. I am torn between him and Malala Yousafzai. So I would be happy with either making the person of the year cover.

does not mean "best" person of the year; it means most newsworthy person of the year.

Using that criteria, I might choose Bernie, Caitlyn Jenner, or refugees. Also using that criteria, they might consider ISIS, but that would be extremely upsetting to most people.

I hope they select Bernie, as it would be good for more MSM exposure.

They’re asking for verification via email so one person one vote. You know, like an election.

Though I guess you could have more than one of those, but still...even if you had 2 that’s not like a bunch of people hitting the vote Bernie button willy nilly.
