(26,366 posts)I went through all 44 on Time's list:
Whole listing: http://poy.time.com/2013/11/25/vote-now-who-should-be-times-person-of-the-year/slide/all/
One at a time: http://poy.time.com/2013/11/25/vote-now-who-should-be-times-person-of-the-year/slide/shinzo-abe/
and one person seemed to me an obvious choice.

(22,000 posts)1) Edward Snowden
2) Vladimir Putin
3) Narendra Modi
4) Rand Paul
5) Miley Cyrus
6) Wendy Davis
7) Malala Yousafzai
8) Pope Francis
9) Lebron James
10) Jimmy Fallon
Malala is at 1% everyone after that is below that.
If there are two people on that list that deserve it is Malala and Wendy Davis.

(145,086 posts)The Good News: Wendy Davis ranked higher than both Ted Cruz and Angelina Jolie. (Click the little one to see the big one.)
The Bad News: Rand Paul is beating her. Go vote.

(13,992 posts)For being a minority member of the least-productive and least-competent Congress in history? For leading a series of failed and wrong-headed crusades against poor and middle-class families?
Why not just nominate Typhoon Haiyan?
