Poll question: let's imagine a DUers Peace Nobel. who would you give the prize?
i picked up some nominations here and there. could not find any in the official site, but rumours spread during the months. 205 nominations.

8. Still Barack Obama
Sorry, but the Nobel committee fucked up when they put me in a position to choose. I had skin in this game, so I chose MY Prez! The opportunity to make conservatroid heads explode was just too sweet to pass up.

12. Prince El Hassan bin Talal of Jordan
He is doing a lot of very good work fighting religious extremism and militancy in the middle east.

People demand moderate Muslims address Muslim extremism, he's doing it in the biggest way he can.

17. Supposedly he was yes.
Edited on Sat Oct-10-09 06:05 PM by TxRider
They keep the list secret for 50 years.

But nominators often reveal who they nominated.

He was widely considered nominated and among the top choices.

He has won numerous peace prizes, but our media isn't likely to ever even mention him.

34. my mistake, the title is misleading indeed. hehe. but if it was a DUers contest...
...i should virtually give nominations to 148,139 people ;)
give me a top ten of nominations for a DU Nobel Prize, and we'll do that.

I considered Mike Malloy, but he would be the first one to tell you he's not interested in peace with those "goddamned criminal Republican sons of bitches".

For resigning and seriously damaging her chances of ever holding public office again.
