[SharonRB]

1. Done!

He's leading at 15%, other than 20% for "Other."

[tblue37]

21. 16% now. (eom)

[ClassWarrior]

2. Done, K&R

NGU.

[monmouth]

3. Done, and thanks

He is being beaten out by "Other" at 11:47 a.m. est...

[alteredstate]

4. done

K & R

[Uncle Joe]

5. Thanks for the post, oh Sick one

Kicked and recommended

[Sick_of_Rethuggery]

7. :-)

I should probably dump this one and change to a more positive one.

I hate flogging a dead horse -- they have imploded so badly that I feel bad for the country.

However, lately I am feeling completely buoyed by the prospects of Gore's resurgence...

[Catchawave]

6. Done !

He's beating Bush :evilgrin:

[Kahuna]

8. Done!

:kick:

[Zynx]

9. As unfortunate as it is, the guy who probably best qualifies for that title

is the President of Iran. In terms of sheer impact and significance, good or bad, he has made Iran into a regional superpower and drastically altered the balance of power in that key region of the world.

[SharonRB]

23. I had the same thought when I looked at the list

But I'd still hate for him to get it. I also thought Pelosi was a worthy name, but her impact didn't affect the entire year -- it will be felt more next year.

[biscotti]

10. done

[longship]

11. Done.

Recommended and kicked.

If we are to get this thing goin' it needs to be on Greatest.

[southerncrone]

12. Thanks for the heads up on this. Al gets another vote!

Looking at the results so far, we apparently still have a large contegnecy of W fans, who ARE these people!?!?!?!?!:crazy:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

49. I don't think that is necessarily the reasoning...

I thought GWB myself because this year he proved to the entire world including his own party that he is now the worst president in history. And that is quite an achievement for a guy who never came in #1 at anything before.

But I still voted for Gore for his effort to bring America's focus back to planet earth.

[Patchuli]

60. People in heavy heavy denial...

Fans of murder, mayhem and mass theft of public monies?!

[unblock]

13. i think my vote would be for mark foley

i think he handed us the senate and certainly helped quite a bit in the house!

[ClassWarrior]

22. Ewwwww... you didn't need to go there...

:rofl:

NGU.

[TheDebbieDee]

14. Done!

16. Thanks for the tip. Done K&R n/t

[stonecoldsober]

17. Too bad Al and Nancy are splitting our vote

[Sick_of_Rethuggery]

19. I kind of like the fact that they are...

Two Dems topping the charts is quite delicious, considering the competition ;-)

[SharonRB]

25. Not that our votes will have anything to do with their decision

I think it's ironic, especially if Al wins, that it will be announced right in the middle of all the MoveOn "Inconvenient Truth" parties going on around the country tonight.

[NYCGirl]

26. No, the show will not mirror results of the on-line poll. Obviously, the hour

long program premiering tonight has already been completed.

[ClassWarrior]

43. They'll probably highlight this data, even if most...

...of the show is "in the can," so DON'T STOP VOTING!!

NGU.

[stonecoldsober]

32. I like that too, but I won't like it if * wins by a few votes!

[Control-Z]

18. Done

Al is second only to "Other"

[Time for change]

20. Just voted -- Gore leading

Leading Bush by 15% to 14%. Pelosi also at 14%.

34. DONE! Love you, Al.

[Straight Shooter]

35. I voted for Gore, but I bet the YouTube guys win.

They had a major influence on the election with the video of the Macaca moment, and all the other hideous atrocities that the GOP has tried to keep out of public view. People who normally won't watch television because of commercials, turn to YouTube to see what's going on. Even DU posts political vids from YT.

YouTube is a phenomenon.

JMO. YMMV.

[Jennicut]

36. I voted for Al

and I posted a message about why he should be Person of the Year as well.:)

[proud patriot]

37. glad to help

:hi:

[Recursion]

38. IMO Ahmadi-Najad is the only suitable answer

After today's election handed him what looks like a fairly stinging rebuke he may not be able to do as much in 2007, but his performance in 2006 in taking Iran from an isolated minor state surrounded on both sides by the world's greatest superpower to a heavyweight regional power is nothing short of phenomenal, and probably influenced the world more for good or ill than did anyone else on the list.

[sellitman]

39. I voted Gore BUT......

I would of loved to see Chavez get more votes then chucklenuts.

[mod mom]

40. Gore still ahead at 16%

[buddysmellgood]

47. DONE

48. Done, Gore leading. nt

[otohara]

50. done

w/ pleasure

[KoKo]

51. Voted Gore...done....n/t

[Harper_is_Bush]

52. Time missed the boat on this one.

Global Warming is an issue that far outweights who's driving or directing information.

What idiots.

[SharonRB]

53. What a cop out this one was

I taped the show and watched the last five minutes when we got home tonight (from an "Inconvenient Truth" party) to see who won. I think it was a total cop out.

[Uncle Joe]

64. The thing is, I believe Al Gore could have been given credit on both

They also seemed to downplay Tim Berner Lee's contribution to the internet as well, could be because he came to the defense of Al Gore's major political contribution to the creation of the internet, while the mass corporate media were busy slandering him over having claimed to have invented it.

I imagine it's hard to give credit to someone, particularly on a subject for which you've been busy trashing said person for years.

[Critters2]

54. Done...but why would ANYONE think Smirk should be person of the year

again?

[Autonomy]

55. Voted for Gore

but notice how they are splitting the liberal vote (as usual) between Gore and Pelosi.

[Seabiscuit]

56. Other 20%, Gore 16%, Pelosi 14%, Bush 13% n/t

[RestoreGore]

57. The winner is YOU

And actually, I like it.

[LSK]

58. where the fuck is Howard Dean?

:grr:

[NobleCynic]

59. Sadly by the definition of person of the year, I don't think Gore qualifies

Gore may yet have a bigger impact on the future, but many had a larger impact on the present.

Dean had a larger impact on the current year (50 state strategy and all). Bush had a larger impact on everything in America. Iran's president had a larger impact than Gore as well.

The person of the year is awarded for impact, for better or for worse.

[orleans]

61. like when osama got person of the year?

i voted for gore anyway, but my vote got flipped to bush. hummm....

[Tommy_J]

62. Done

Gore is leading

[otohara]

63. WHY IS CONDI ON THIS LIST

WHAT IF ANYTHING HAS SHE DONE BESIDES PLAY THE PIANO?
