The characters aren't cool enough is just what I think. The people who actually send in votes are the ones that care too much /shrug.

Character who doesn't want people to bother her + girl who's obsessed with abnormal = you figure it out.

Personally, I can't see the appeal of Haruhi. I've only read a chapter and a half of the light novel so far and I hate both the main characters already. Haruhi for being a complete b**** who uses and abuses people and gets away with it and Kyon who doesn't even stand up for a girl that Haruhi pushed to tears. Hell, I like Medaka a lot more than her and that's saying something. Worst part is, I hear they don't change much during the novels either. I just don't undestand how people find that funny... But then agan, a lot of people watch American Idol just to see Simon make fun of people, too. Bleh.
Popularity of Haruhi is Kyon really. If you randomly see a girl bossing everyone around without a guy who's just taking it up the ass without snide comments, then you just call her a female dog and move along. Kyon made it funny and seemingly enjoy it at various points, which added to Haruhi's decent character design then it's a win.
