1. Remember how up in arms the usual gang of nutjobs were...
...when Carter won it?

It'll be like that, only 10 times worse.

2. They'll either have a snarky comment, a smirk, or their
heads will just explode. What won't happen will be a straighforward report-it will be all-political spin.

3. I guess it depends if they have to pre-empt it with news about Britney Spears?
Or they can do what one of our local newscasts did tonite, where they minimized his "nomination" for the Nobel Prize and mentioned that Hitler, Stalin and even "Bono" have been all nominated....

It pissed me off to see my local news cast minimalize his nomination so....

4. At this point, it's a no win situation for Gore
If he doesn't get it, the media will push the Gore's a loser theme. If he wins it, they'll essentially call the Nobel committee a bunch of know-nothing, extremists who have given past awards to (fill in the blank with unsavory past winners)
