Chicago got the nod to try to get the Olympics over SF.  SF had the Olympics 
once before which is *supposedly* why they were turned down by the U.S. 
committee.  I would disagree <g>

The IOC happens to like SF.  Folks on the IOC had traveled to and been given 
the grand tour about a year ago.  If the U.S. Olympic committee had actually 
wanted the Olympics here, then they wouldn't have played brown nose with 
Teflon and his strong-arm henchmen and given the nod to Chicago.

Just a thought.
