The part I like about the process is that every year, Time has to explain patiently that the nominee is the person who, for better or worse, has done more to influence the news. Still, that will do nothing to dispel the inevitable criticisms that the selection of Barack Obama is further evidence of the librull media.
Runners up may include Paulson, Bernanke and MikeWaters, but I can't imagine anyone coming close to the President-elect.

I agree that BO will likely make the final cut. However, ever since Time picked the computer as its "person" of the year, you now have to consider inanimate objects, as well. I could also see a nod to "The Economy" as "person" of the year.
One true factoid....on my resume, under personal, I have listed "Time Magazine's Person of the Year - 2006." I havent looked for a job yet, but if I do, I hope someone asks me about it.
