There was a poll on CNN that asked who you thought (from the options) "Who should be the person of the year be?" (for TIME magazine)

Who do you think should be "person of the year"?

Here are the options that were available.

Lance Armstrong
George Bush
Condi Rice
Mother Nature
JK Rowling
Pope Benedict XVI
Steve Jobs
Bill/Hillary Clinton

(Or your choice)


-Lucas




I would choose Lance Armstrong. He is a fine example of strength. Fighting his cancer, he did what he loved. He rode. He beat the odds and lived life. "Live Strong."
