{scrapped entries included}

I'd go with Doha (already eliminated :crash: )

 

[Vanilla Bear]

Yeah I just read that in the news...

I hope for Windy City!

Does anyone care anymore? I think the ratings for the last summer Olympics weren't very good.Other than providing some sort of economic boost for whatever city it's in,I don't think a whole lot of people actually give a ****.

 

[StormRuller]

I'll go with Rio...

 

[sputnikgirl]

I'll say Madrid, but I really could care less.

 

[hotslutsrgood]

i hope madrid gets it.

 

[senob44]

I'll go with Chicago, just because I'm a homer and I really don't care.

 

[SBTNW]

I'll go with Rio...

whadayaknow... really?


Chicago, 'cause it's the only of those cities that i can actually go...

 

[Frenchlolo]

We can eliminate the european cities because London 2012 and Tokyo beacause Bejing this year. Each continent after the other is the rule.

My favorite is Tokyo but as said ...

The CEO choice will be Rio and the brasilian people don't eat for 30 years or Doha (capital city of Qatar) for the money. And we know the CEO's love of money after Atlanta 96 for Coca and not Athens for the 100 years of modern olympics ...

Chicago.

Though the cynic in me thinks it should be Havana to continue the new trend of supporting governments that spit on human rights. What were they thinking, giviing it to China?

With all the expense a city has to put into the Olympics I wouldn't be surprised if most of them lose out in the long run after it's all over.

maybe Chicago too... if it's not Rio I want it to be Chicago...

Rio did a very good Pan-American games last year!!

 

[Becks...poamr]

Can't we start a write in campaign?

 

[zell]

I got to be honest,I really hope that Chicago doesn't get it and I think a lot of people that actually live here are hoping the same.There are a variety of logistical issues that have a lot of people turned off about our city getting the games,mainly traffic.It would be really good for construction companies and the hotel and hospitality industries here in the area,and all of that money coming in will definitely give our mayor and county commissioner major hard-ons.Unfortunately,I don't think that too much of that money will make it's way out to the suburbs and surrounding counties.

 

[tartanterrier]

I'd go for Rio so it gives me something to watch late at night

 

[slowhand]

It does not matter were it is they can have it my back yard if they like.

 

[BigSwede]

I read that only Chicago,Rio,Tokyo and Madrid were left.
I voted for Chicago just because americans are great att arranging these kind of things.
But I think that South America never has hosted the Olympics.

 

[Bigoldowls]

I've voted for Baku knowing that it won't stand a Chance.

 

[BlueBalls]

Doha, because I could care less.

 

[Eric Lindros]

I'll go with Prague.
Been there once, it's a beautiful city and it is in the same timezone as The Netherlands.
That's easier for the live coverage.
