Iran Protesters #1 in Time Person of the Year Poll
1 December 2009 Posted By Jamal Abdi
TIME is polling its readers to find out who should be the 2009 Person of the Year and guess what–currently leading as the number one candidate are the Iran Protesters.
This is great news and a reminder to the world that the Iranian people continue their struggle for democracy, even when the headlines focus elsewhere. Many of you have joined the campaign to encourage the editors of TIME to make Neda Solton, who has come to personify the Iranian people’s battle, Person of the Year. Today’s poll shows that these efforts are paying off.
There are a total of 10 candidates, including Barack Obama (who won in 2008 and is the current runner up), Steve Jobs (ranked third) and the Somali Pirates (currently ranked last).

Neda is the face of millions of people in Iran that are fighting to get their freedom as we have in US and many other countries. Picking Neda means picking the people of Iran as the person of the year.
