2012 Olympics
ok, the US gets to make a bid, but first we have to pic one city. the 4 candidates are <a href="http://www.nyc2012.com"; target="_blank">nyc</a>, Washington DC, Housten, and <a href="http://www.basoc2012.com/"; target="_blank">San Fransisco</a>. where do you want it to be and why?
(I will add links to other cities as people find them...)

it seems they have a well thought out plan and would be a good way to rebuild the city after 9/11
Of course, Houston is perhaps the one city on Earth that actually has worse summer weather than we do. Florida is pretty brutal too.
Training in the summer in DC is not much different than altitude training. Ask the tennis players: Our Legg Mason tournament (Super 9 series or whatever) sees more fainting and nausea in best of 3's than do any of the majors in their best of 5's. I'm proud of that, too.

Yeah, I agree. They really screwed up that last attempt. I heard some ridiculous things happened in the campaign, like some sort of a fund-raiser party that included S&M or something (don't remember the details, maybe a woman urinating on another who had paterns cut into her flesh or something). That kind of stuff will really cast a shadow over your credibility
You may now return to your originally scheduled topic.

<strong>San Francisco!

I am from SF also but its kinda losing its appeal lately. Perhaps SF should hold the homeless Olympics down on Market and 6th Street. What a lovely thought!

San Fransisco. It would give those runners a break running down those hills.

Actually they would most likely make them run up them, it's more fun that way.

I'd prefer to take the Tram but then I'd probably be disqualified.
In 2012, these new sport centres and the newly constructed (or under construction) New World Trade Center would be a nice consolation for their recently demolished landmarks in 2001.
But since that many of the ?active? / ?sport? activities usually happened in the west coast, San Fransisco is a good city for an Olympic event. It's a much better choice for an Olympic event than New York City, Washington DC, and Houston.
