IV Selection of Prizewinners

Nominations of candidates for the prizes can be made only by those who have received invitations to do so. In the fall of the year preceding the award, Nobel committees distribute invitations to members of the prize-awarding bodies, to previous Nobel prize winners, and to professors in relevant fields at certain colleges and universities. In addition, candidates for the prize in literature may be proposed by invited members of various literary academies, institutions, and societies. Upon invitation, members of governments or certain international organizations may nominate candidates for the peace prize. The Nobel Foundation’s statutes do not allow individuals to nominate themselves. Invitations to nominate candidates and the nominations themselves are both confidential.

Rhandi Rhodes has stated that the person who claims he can rehabilitate (Mrs.) Schiavo and who others claim is a Nobel Science nominee was, in fact, nominated by a Florida Congressman from the Tarpon Springs District.

Was this nomination made two weeks ago, ten years ago?
What do you think the Nobel Price Committee did with the nomination or was the Congressman, indeed, qualifed to nominate? If yes, how was he qualifed?

Poking.

1. Thank god you have to be invited. That knocks neocons off the list.

They love to invite themselves to places they are not welcome...in fact they go to places like that to establish dominance (so as not to have to adjust the daydreams of grandeur..anything to not have to change the daydreams of grandeur).
