9. Well, at least that ass monkey most likey won't win again

He's the most influential person in the sense that his idiotic, shallow, simplistic attitude towards the Iraq war cost the Republicans their first election in 12 years.

8. Don't they choose who THEIR panel decides upon?

I always thought that the "polls" were just there to make people "think" they has a choice in it all.

Did the poll-takers decide on Buffet-Gates last year?? don;t think so , but they were the cover:shrug:

[DesertRat]

28. The winner(s) last year were the Gates and Bono

Poll-takers don't decide who wins, the Time editors do. They just do the online poll probably just to create interest.

[SoCalDem]

29. That shows how much attention I paid to it..

Got one of the winners wrong :)

[DesertRat]

31. I only knew because I saw last years cover when I clicked the link

:-)

[Sherman A1]

10. Voted for Gore

but then I did in 2000 as well, oh, that was a different kinda poll.....

[movonne]

11. done

[Minnesota_Lib]

12. I really think Howard Dean should have made the short list.

He held a sometimes contentious coalition of Democratic leaders and strategists together and they pulled off something that would have been unthinkable a year ago.

[Richard Steele]

13. I do as well. I voted for Gore, but...

...I really think DEAN had a much larger
effect upon the world this year.

[indepat]

14. What the hell has Madame Secretary done to merit being considered?

[bahrbearian]

19. Lap dancing ? I don't know just guessing.

So, I nominate little ole' me for the person of the year. AND I nominate all of you, TOO. For being you. Silly, TIMES we see all these people in the news every single day.

[pooja]

21. That's great...

[DesertRat]

27. It's not about just great people

Time 'person of the year' can be a man, woman, or idea that for better or worse, has most influenced events in the preceding year.

Hilter was the winner in 1938.

Here's the complete list since 1927. Interesting choices:
