16. The ability to DU or freep a poll never decided jack shit

Especially in the choosing of some irrelevant hack like Chavez, who the majority of the country could give two shits about. I don't recall Time using an internet poll to choose Charles Lindbergh as their MOTY. The web poll's just for fun. POTY is always decided by the staff.

Besides, runner-up was confirmed as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad anyway. Chavez is a nobody with a loud mouth. He's not as important as he thinks he is.

And Time's POTY is supposed to be whoever had the biggest impact on society, news, etc. during the year. The choice was a little strange, but the more I thought about it, the more sense it made. I like the pick.
