OSLO (Reuters) - The winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced in Oslo on Oct. 12, the Norwegian Nobel Institute said on Thursday.

The secretive five-member Norwegian Nobel Committee will select the winner of what many consider the world's most prestigious accolade from a near record field of 181 nominees.

The committee does not disclose the names of nominees, but those who make nominations sometimes publish their choices, and this year's candidates include former U.S. Vice President Al Gore for his efforts to raise awareness of climate change.

Other nominees announced by backers include Inuit campaigner Sheila Watt-Cloutier for her work to show how global warming affects indigenous people and Poland's Irene Sendler who saved 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw ghetto in World War Two.

The 2006 peace prize went to Bangladeshi economist Muhammad Yunus and his Grameen Bank for their efforts to lift millions out of poverty by granting them tiny loans, spawning a global movement known as microcredit...

6. Gore's gonna win it. That will be a nice big slap in the psycho's face and

there's nothing the entire world would enjoy more! The man who had his presidency stolen from the psycho resident who immediately destroyed Clinton and Gore's Environmental policies, will now be told what the world thinks of that and HIM. Sweet revenge. When Gore wins, the repukes are gonna be foaming at the mouth...especially Jim Inhofe.:bounce:

9. I hope Doug Feith doesn't stay up late waiting for any calls that night.

I'm thinking the headlines from Iraq will be uniformly horrifying, that Dubya's poll numbers will be no better than they are now and possibly worse, and as GOP congress critters bail from the Bush agenda left and right, there'll come a news flash that Gore is the recipient of the Nobel.

I like the work Al Gore has done since 2000. If he wins the Nobel Prize in October, it shuts up quite a few of his detractors in the media and it adds to his already impressive hat one more gallant feather.
