Andrew has opened the discussion over who should be TIME's Person of the Year and it seems we're destined to have George W. Bush on the cover of the red-rimmed magazine. It's not easy to come up with many alternative options but Micro Persuasion at least gives it a good try and is suggesting that bloggers should fill the slot as they meet the basic requirements:

"Person of the Year is an annual issue of TIME magazine that features a profile on the man, woman, couple, group, idea, place, or machine that "for better or worse, has most influenced events in the preceding year"

Hard to say if bloggers "most influenced events" but they certainly deserve an honorary mention. If I come up with a better candidate, I'll let you know.
