OSLO (Reuters) -- "President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair are among nominees for the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize before a Sunday deadline for nominations despite failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
"'Nominations are pouring in,' said Geir Lundestad, director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute. He said he gets letters and up to 1,500 e-mails a day from people either supporting or denouncing candidates."
However:
"Nobel watchers say Bush or Blair's chances of winning are close to nil ...
"Lundestad said many people wrongly believed being a 'Nobel prize nominee' was itself a kind of honor.
"Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic have made it to the list -- every member of all the world's parliaments, university professors from law to theology, ex-winners and committee members can submit names."
