Re: Enjoying London, USOC wants to host Olympics, too

Summer candidates could include New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco.

As a local booster, there's a part of me that feels that New York should receive priority given that our international equals (Paris, Tokyo, Berlin, London, and Moscow) have had the Summer games, so New York must have it as well lest we fall behind. On the other hand, if we're going to use the Olympics to showcase one of our secondary and less globally known cities, maybe we should blow our wad on Chicago or San Francisco. If we're really feeling adventurous, maybe we could get away with Seattle or even Washington DC given that city's lukewarm renaissance...

Of course, given that the Feds have shown no interest in underwriting an bid, I suspect that North America's next chance may end up being Toronto.
