Who do you think TIME will pick in a few weeks? I thought they might go for a world leader but now I'm leaning toward the YouTube guys -- that site has gained more media influence faster than any other I can remember.

Well?

I personally could never pick just one person as person of the year. I mean, how do I, a 21 year old geek in New Hampshire, pick out the person of the year? Should I pick based upon names I keep hearing? Should I pick based upon someone who just really stood out to me?

I suppose if I had to pick a single person of the year, it would be Jon Stewart. The man, in my opinion, has the most influence on the average american than anyone else.

If we were to talk about a group of individuals that have caused the most talk and influence over various aspects of life, I would choose The Iraqi People as a whole.
