As a couple of Ricochetti have noted over on the Member Feed, Time magazine released its list of finalists for person of the year earlier today. The decidedly JV lineup includes the following:
Bashar Assad, President of Syria
Jeff Bezos, Amazon Founder
Ted Cruz, Texas Senator
Miley Cyrus, Singer
Pope Francis, Leader of the Catholic Church
Barack Obama, President of the United States
Hassan Rouhani, President of Iran
Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services
Edward Snowden, N.S.A. Leaker
Edith Windsor, Gay rights activist
With the possible exception of Ted Cruz, I doubt that anyone on this list would make the cut here at Ricochet (though keep in mind that Time has always insisted this distinction should go to the most influential person of the year, regardless of whether that influence was positive or negative). Member J Flei asks the operative question:
I could care less about what Time magazine thinks, much more interested in who people from Ricochet think the the person of the year ought be.
So how about it? Who's your choice for 2013's Person of the Year?

I don't read Time anymore, but thinking about the most influential people of 2013 is interesting.

Obama is black, and that probably gives him the edge.

I hope I don’t get flamed, but Assad for killing Al-queda. He is fighting the same butchers we have been fighting for 12 years. Cruz would be second on my list.
