Time Magazine's Person of the Year - IS there ANY Doubt?

[HardWorkingDem]

If it is not Barack Obama, all integrity of Time Magazine (what it has left) is down the toilet.

[Danger Mouse]

1. Who else even comes close?

[d_b]

3. joe the plumber?

[Danger Mouse]

5. Of course!! How could I forget?

[Bluebear]

2. Not even a question.

[valerief]

4. The Corporation. This new administration will test it. nt

[PBS Poll-435]

6. "That One!"

[PretzelWarrior]

7. They'll pick Sarah Palin or Hillary just to sell magazines

[JoePhilly]

8. How about US!!!!!!

[Voice for Peace]

13. The American People

my vote

[Marsala]

14. Bah, we already won it in 2006

Weirdest Person of the Year ever.

[JoePhilly]

36. We didn't deserve it that time.

[Whoa20]

9. this is as much as a given

as is the Earth revolving around the sun tomorrow

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[Occam Bandage]

11. This is beyond a given. nt

[Jackpine Radical]

12. I was assuming Sarah Palin.

[Democrats_win]

15. NO NO! Not again! We just did this. Will there be paper ballots for Times MOTY vote?

Will there be polling? Which poll will have greater weight? If we had only had prop 8 before the Time Warner merger! Who will talk us down the night before the announcement? What about the competition. Remember, TIME made YOU the man of the year once. As a former winner, who do you think should win? Isn't it a slam dunk?

To Democrats, the words, "Slam Dunk" means bush is taking us into another fool war. This could be a nightmare. Yet...

For this man, Time will stand still, OBAMA is the man of the year.

[liberalhistorian]

16. Oh, I wouldn't put it past them to name Bush or

Rove or any of the rest of them one last time, not at all. This is the last time they really can do so, and they may take advantage of it. Remember, this is Time magazine, after all.

[Colobo]

17. Sarah Palin

She's given a new life to comedy in this country.

[mile18blister]

18. I wouldn't be offended if they chose the man behind the scene

who made it all possible: Howard Dean

[Earth Bound Misfit]

19. If it isn't "That One", it HAS TO BE...

THIS ONE

[pirate_satellite]

20. I don't need Time Magazine

You know the audience that subscribes to Time Magazine? The audience of the people that wanna know what's happening in the world, week by week. The people that work during the day and can read it small... right? And it's concise. And there's pictures in it. You know those: a certain class of people. It's a class of people that take the magazine seriously.

I mean, sure, I could read it. You know, I read it on the airplanes, but I don't take it seriously. If I want to find out anything I'm not gonna read Time Magazine! I'm not gonna read Newsweek. I'm not gonna read any of these magazines, cause they've just got too much to lose by printing the truth. You know that!

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

21. It has already happened

The part about their integrity being down the toilet, I mean.

[ROh70]

22. Obama is person of the decade.

[TheDonkey]

23. BUSH!

:puke: :puke::puke: :puke:

[ROh70]

24. A possible choice - tie among Greenspan, Phil Gramm and Bush

for being central figures in bringing about the financial meltdown of 2008.

[krawhitham]

25. The 750 Billion dollar man, Henry Paulson

[TeamJordan23]

26. No doubt. He beat the Clinton machine and the Republicans in same year. nm

[Blue For You]

27. McCain. He ran such a positive campaign and gave that

warm and fuzzy speech at the end. One minute he's David Duke, and then gives a speech and he's Gandhi or something.

[cooolandrew]

28. I think they'll pick Rahm to wind people up. lol.

[Tiggeroshii]

29. I think its gonna be gw again

for sucking that bad...

[regnaD kciN]

30. Isn't it practically always the case...

...that, in years when we elect a new president, that person automatically becomes PotY?

[Kahuna]

31. Maybe it will be "us" again! nt

[woo me with science]

32. Can they resist this cover?

[HardWorkingDem]

34. About that photo...

Unless you saw the debate, you'd swear it had to be photoshopped, don't you?

[SoxFan]

33. Joe The Plumber

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

35. If they don't pick Tito The Builder they're asholes.

Because that worked out so well.

[saltpoint]

37. Hmm. Good question. I can't think of one soul who stood out

particularly.
