Fernandez wins person of the year

[NewsWhore]

Last night President Leonel Fernandez was awarded Person of the Year for 2007 by Dominican TV station TeleAntillas. Although Fernandez was honored to receive the award he seemed humbled, saying that singer/songwriter Juan Luis Guerra actually deserved the award. Guerra won six Latin Grammys during the 2007 award show. Never missing an opportunity to campaign, Fernandez said that he would do his best to win the 2008 presidential elections so that he could win the award in 2008. This is the second consecutive time Fernandez has won the award. Fernandez was chosen through a poll. One hundred and fifty two out of 632 people polled, or 24%, voted for Fernandez. Previous winners include David Ortiz, Sammy Sosa and former President Hipolito Mejia.
