    Time Person of the Year is just like SI Sportsman of the Year. Whose face on the cover sells? The Pope definitely has more commercial potential than Snowden.

    Yeah, I understand that.

    Of the finalists, I'd also put Bashar Assad ahead of the pope, too, I think. The more I think about it, Edward Snowden hits on Time's criteria (most influenced the news this year) and my subjective criteria (importance of how he influenced the news).

    Oh, I agree, but the Pope wasn't an unreasonable choice. Better than the year it was You, for sure.

    Jonathan Martin, the Times' national political correspondent tweets this:

    Who was last anti-abortion advocate to win?

    Way to boil the Pope down to "anti-abortion advocate". I guess that's all he is in some people's minds.

    In 2006 they picked like a couple billion anti-abortion advocates.

    Anybody who doesn't have 2006 Time Person of the Year on their resume isn't doing it right.

    Gee, I really thought Miley Cyrus had a shot. Time wouldn't have announced her as a finalist if she wasn't seriously being considered. They wouldn't throw her name out there just to get some free publicity. Not Time Magazine.

    I'm with Ragu here. Frank's a nice guy and all, but Snowden was the obvious choice.
