The Nobel Peace prize will be announced Friday morning. Until then the world must wait with bated breath as the committee confers. In the meantime, here are the seven most likely candidates, as ranked by betting odds maker PaddyPower.com. 

Note that the odds are changing constantly (Bono was well behind a few days ago).

UPDATE: And the winner is Liu Xiaobo!
