'' the decision raised some criticism as it was described as ideological and even hypocritical. Some weeks before the announcement, Time decided to ask the users in a poll "Who Should Be Person of the Year?" After several weeks, the poll winner by a wide margin was Hugo Chávez, with 35% of the votes. The president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad came in second.Yet Time decided to ignore those results and did not mention them in the announcement of the Person of the Year. Its critics underline that Time ignores its digital democracy among its readers. ''

Hmmm...but surely...based on who the Person of the Year was, then there couldn't be a second place - vote or no vote...?

The man of the year award doesn't necessarily mean it's a great person doing a great act. It's about someone who has grabbed the headlines and made an impact on the world whether good or bad.
Osama Bin Laden was nearly named in 2001 for this reason.
