Time's Person of the year

Each year Time magazine selects a "Man of the Year" for their last issue. This year You were selected, the user of the World Wide Web.

If that's so why was the result of the on-line poll for "Man of the Year", conducted on the Time website so blatantly disregarded?

I just checked it and it cleary shows Hugo Chávez, the newly re-elected President of Venezuela, in the lead with 36%. The closest to Time's choice is the YouTube guys with 11%. If You is to be valued then at least Your choice should merit a reference in the cover story. I guess Time isn't so confortable with the notion of the world polling on who is really the Man of the Year if it departs from who they might deem acceptable.
