The Nobel Prize committee didn’t select Pope Francis for the peace prize this year (Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi got that honor), but he would have won -- by a large margin-- if NCRonline readers would have been consulted.
I asked readers to take a poll yesterday answering the question: Whom do you want to be selected for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014? Here’s the results:
Votes
Pope Francis 118
Malala Yousafzai 59
Ban Ki-Moon 4
Edward Snowden 21
Responses Other (please specify)
Health workers fighting Ebola -- 1
We don’t have peace, there should be no prize 3
Silly suggestions 4
