Pujols over Lee in Allstar voting

[sublime]

Name recognition, proven performance, and being in the previous WS.

or the PI version:

fans are mindless drones

All-star voting is almost entirely based on popularity. I would not be surprised at all to see Barry Bonds in the top 5 for OFs.

If Lee is still leading the Triple Crown categories in 3 weeks, he'll be talked about on Sportscenter and PTI/ATH daily so that'll probably propel him over Pujols.

Well, the all-star game is for who the fans want to see play, not who is having the best season.

There are two camps to All-Star Voting. The first camp is that all-star voting should be based on season performance thus far. If you're in that camp, Derrek Lee should be the starter - forgive the phrase - "and it's not close." With Lee's hot streak lately, he's jumped ahead of even Brian Roberts as the most valuable player in the world....

However, if you believe it should be based on some sort of past/current stats mix, Pujols has a very good case...

Well, actually, there's a third camp, and they're the most popular. They're called "[censored] morons." All-Star voting is a sham.
