Keith Olbermann's Favorite People Of 2008: Obama, Palin, SNL, Affleck, Letterman

Keith Olbermann ran down a list of his favorite people of 2008 Monday night on "Countdown."

"When looking back at this historic year, it became clear we could not pick our favorite things this go-around," Olbermann said. "There was only one thing in 2008, it seemed: the never-ending, always-entertaining race to replace President Bush. So given the prism of the historic election, we'll remember this year by highlighting our favorite candidates and characters of Decision 2008."
