1. Nancy Pelosi

I was thinking it should be Nancy before I clicked on the link.

4. As long as it isn't Bill/Melissa Gates and Bono again

:wtf: :argh: :banghead:

2. the youtube guys

For changing the way that citizens can affect the news. It's like Big Brother for Big Brother:
George "Macaca" Allen would have to agree on that, he was supposed to be a frontrunner for the 08 repuk pres bid. Plus they have provided an alternative to MSM. It happens, somebody uploads it, and we all see it.

[Kelly Rupert]

7. They'd be great choices too.

[aaronbees]

22. I'd say them or Al Gore

The power of Youtube is strong and just a further example of one way to deconstruct the mainstream media machine. I think it's absolutely revolutionary.

Al Gore would be a fine choice, as well, for the work he's done to raise awreness on global warming.

[LWolf]

3. The choices seem narrow. n/t

[Lone_Star_Dem]

5. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is winning with 34% bush is second with 13%

Then Gore (my choice) with 12% and Pelosi is third with 11%.

[Kelly Rupert]

6. Ahmadinejad by a mile.

2006 was the year he more or less won this round of world politics. In 2006 he beat us in Iraq, beat the entire West in the UN, and beat Israel through Hezbollah. He may be a batshit crazy fucker, but he had more of an impact on the world than anyone else this year.

8. I voted for Al!

:)

[everythingsxen]

9. Al Gore

It was him or Pelosi and Pelosi hasn't done as much as Al this year. Also the world is coming around to Global Warming, so I think that bumps Al up.

[Mr_Spock]

10. We don't get good choices there

WTF? was this year really that pitiful?

[gorbal]

11. I like that the youtube guys are beating George Bush

But come on, there have got to be some Chavistas out there, (some Goristas?) Tell me that Gore's film didn't have a huge affect on the public consciouness about global warming. NOBODY questions it since that movie came out.

12. Here's tje choices. Go vote. The results are interesting!

13. We need to beat * on this poll

We can't have President Gore or (first woman ever!) Speaker Pelosi finish behind Little Boots.

Lets vote DU. :toast:

14. I like Al Gore. But the You Tube guys would be fun.

[Beaverhausen]

15. Howard Dean should be on that list

damn it!

[jgraz]

20. Absolutely -- sucks that they forgot him

[ThomWV]

16. Tough Choice Between Pelosi and Gore - I Took Gore

Even though I think Nancy's achievment is truly outstanding and should win her the honor. However I want Gore visable.

[IDemo]

17. The American voter n/t

[jgraz]

19. Good thought, but I'd rather see The American G.I. n/t

[Kelly Rupert]

23. Already did that one in 03

[jgraz]

24. They should do it every year until they're home

[jgraz]

18. Yep, had to go with Al -- keep the focus on global warming

[gorbal]

25. Keep voting, he's catching up with Bush

I can't believe Al Gore has less votes than @#$%# Bush!

[jgraz]

26. Just remember, Time picked Hitler for Man of the Year

The title isn't "Best Man of the Year", just the most newsworthy. Personally, I think we'd be pretty happy if Time picked Bush this year. We'd get a whole issue on what a failure he is.

21. Voted For YouTube Guys

YouTube *is* the greatest thing since sliced bread. Well, at least for this vidder.
