5. Please remember, Time magazine is still part of the GOP-controlled media.
There's no guarantee what they choose to do with their award.

19. Second that!
I selected Obama in the poll for the reason that I think (at this point) that
Obama will win the GE, but should it be McCain, they'll select him.
