Aside from having their polls freeped, the staff at Time Magazine doesn’t seem to be very smart.
Now it’s your turn to tell us who you think is the most important person of 2008. Should it be first woman Vice Presidential candidate or her female doppelganger on Saturday Night Live? Vote for your choice, though the editors reserve the right to disagree. Their selection will be announced in the December 29th issue of TIME, on sale Dec. 19

Sadly, Sarah "youbetcha" Palin is in the lead in the online voting for Time‘s PotY, god bless her.
UPDATE: Here is how the online poll results appeared at the time I published this diary: Vote for Your Choice. Since then, Obama has moved ahead of Palin in "Avg. Rating" but Palin still has over 10,000 more votes.
UPDATE 2: Well that didn’t take long. At the time of this update, Palin has fallen to number 6 on the list and Obama now has a commanding lead. However, Time still hasn’t remedied the "first woman Vice Presidential candidate" faux pas.

Michael Phelps deserves to be head and feet ahead…
They have heard of Geraldine Ferraro? Right?
oh yeah, and stupid too
I wish someone would photoshop that box o binkies these dunderheads reach into several times a day, dear gawd they love their shiny, vacuous sh*
ayfkm – a little known black man spends two years running the best, most comprehensive campaign in our political history, involving unprecedented levels of americans in the process, gets elected President and the grown up media is going with the Prom Queen angle ?!?!?
methinks they will name Obama but want to get the most
moneymileage out of Palin they can.cheap tricks.
And they wonder why the dead tree media is becoming irrevelevant…
The fact that 42 Million Americans can’t read may be a contributing factor as well.
it is bizarre they are leaving this to a poll, if there were ever a man of the year, not matter what the polling says, it is the man that is going to be the next fdr
polling is the new leadership. at least until Jan. 20.
Can some kind soul yank Time’s ignorant head out of the snow and smack some sense into it? Goodgawd!
on the other hand, can Obama play the flute?
welllll, neither can Sarah.
The Empire crumbles Nero for Pres in 4 years!
Time decides its PotY based on Internet voting? Thank God! Now I know why I haven’t been able to take this award seriously in years!
Why not? they gave that “honor” to Hitler and George Bush, she’d be in good company.
