I am annoyed by the Republican vs Democrat mud throwing. This is what the powers that be want all debate to be reduced from. This way they can pass whatever they want be merely being Democrat or Republican.. which ever the current party in power is.

If you noticed, Chicago pulled out all the stops in terms of celebrity schmoozing. Unfortunately, like any group that is enamored by celebrities, they forget that celebrity schmoozing does not replace content.. though it might help win the election.

The IOC wanted to know how Chicago would support the Olympics from a technical point of view, but Chicago had a bunch of celebrities glad-hand them… thats how Chicago ended up near the bottom. The Olympics are also supposed to rotate amongst participating nations.
