What passes for debate at Time, via NRO’s Geraghty.
2009 was Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, for saving us all. Well, that remains to be seen. What fresh hell.
2008 was Barack Obama. Ditto.
2007 was the murderous Vlad Putin.
I think Time owes us a good one. For a change.
If they can’t bring themselves to name the eeevil Sarah Palin (because, after all, how many conservatives read Time) then the TEA Party would be a good choice. Just in the interest of their retaining a shred of journalistic integrity. Or they too may be sold for a dollar.
Who’s your pick, folks?

I voted for Glenn Beck this year, he’s done a lot to wake people up. But given Time’s record, they’ll probably go with Ahmadinejad who’s made such amazing progress with his nuclear program.

Right on both counts:)

I am surprised Meggie Mac didn’t nominate herself. I am going to have to cast my vote for Barack Obama, he’s had such a rough year and all. How long has it been since someone handed him a prize anyway, he’s overdue. /
Seriously, I would have to think about it some more. In addition to the names mentioned here already, I would consider Paul Ryan or Marco Rubio possibly. I have to say that of all the candidates I actually met, I loved Pat Toomey but he didn’t get the national attention or do as much to influence public awakening. On a one-on-one basis, he struck me as the warmest and most sincere man you could hope for. You’d never pick that up from his television appearances though.
I was bummed I didn’t get to actually get to shake Sarah Palin’s hand but her star power is really something to see first hand. No doubt about it she really shakes up the national conversation too. They’d never nominate her, especially with Meggie Mac speaking for the right (what a joke). Credit where credit is due – she did pick the Tea Party and Beck. Both are good choices.

We did have an amazing number of wonderful people come forward this year.
I was surprised too Meggie had the wisdom for those picks.
I wish she would go get a real job instead of trading off her dad’s success. Dissing Christine O’Donnell who has actually had the guts to run for office I thought was particularly nasty on Meggie’s part.

Is the tea party a choice? That’s who I’d pick.

It was brought up but who knows if it makes the cut.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Nancy, or Nancy and Harry, on the cover. Or Jon Stewart.
How about Chris Christie?

Who does Time want to lionize this year. A good question. You may be right, Jill. There may be doubling down with Nancy and Harry. Stewart would be a cute duck from responsibility for a decision.
Maybe grudging respect for Christie.
