Though it’s widely rumored that Barack Obama will be named TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year regardless of election outcomes, the decision about who will grace this year’s PoY cover still hasn’t been made.

TIME’s managing editor, Rick Stengel, is currently soliciting your votes for the Person of the Year.

So have at it!

Who, in your opinion, has had the greatest impact (“for better OR for worse,” Stengel says) on the US and the world this year?

Check out Stengel’s YouTube appeal and then cast your vote!

    Iranian protesters,
    They are fighting for their freedom, for something that we can hardly understand because we live in a democratic country, and hardly be bothered with anything related to our freedom.
    They have played with their lives to earn freedom, they simply died for the minimum right that any living creature MUST have.
    those youngsters opened our eyes to see the true meaning of freedom and how much does it worth.
    peace be upon the martyrs of freedom,
    and God protect those who are fighting for their right.

    Chesley Sullenberger, for remaining calm, exhibiting grace under pressure, and restoring our faith in people in the face of insurmountable obstacles.
