Python also wins because it's a living language, still changing, adapting and updating itself while Common Lisp died the day the ANSI standard was published and today is a zombie, even if it still smells fairly nice.
Now that comp.lang.lisp is utter crap, there isn't much of a community either except for #lisp, which as an outsider I find kind of intimidating and not a good place to ask for help. Actually, what lisp really needs is for Conrad Barski to clone himself 10x :)
