OK How did Obama get picked a TIME magazine "Person of The Year" if on YouTube 95% votes were for Ron Paul?

1 Answer

Answer :

Because “YouTube” and “Time Magazine” are completely unaffiliated. That’s like saying, “Why is Barack Obama president when the majority of voters in a World Net Daily poll said that Buchanan should be elected?!” Also, Ron Paul’s campaign* probably sent out an e-mail asking people to spam whatever poll you’re referring to, which is also responsible for his high online polling numbers during the primary, followed by his dismal performance when people actually had to vote. *not necessarily his official campaign, but the dozens of Facebook groups that contain 99% of his supporters.
