A simply majority wins. No city got a majority after the first round, so they eliminate the lowest vote getter, which was Chicago.

Seems that they had the best final presentation by far. Plus, the independent analysis says that they had the best bid.

It will be best bid or geography. Sounds like an NCAA baseball regional.

remarking "Nice to meet you, Oprah. I must admit, ve find your book recommendations to be quite pedestrian." Besides, we all know the site with the most under-the-counter cash and 'tang wins. Advantage: Rio.

A lot of them have turned political in the last 30 minutes though. Rio is still the favorite - Madrid just had a strong bid.

Pros of Rio
Beautiful
South America has never hosted
Big titties

Cons of Rio
Crime-infested (proposed to wall off most of the city to tourists and athletes)
Old infrastructure (Olympic Stadium was built for the 1950 World Cup_

Pros of Madrid
Best infrastructure
Best plan
Food and culture
Lifetime President of IOC Spaniard and is begging for it

Cons of Madrid
London 2012 and Sochi 2014 on same continent

if you have the cons that Rio has.

I mean, hell, just give it to Jackson.

I thought they were known more for their rumps. Most of the Brazilian women I've met were pretty flat-chested.

This is an every 4 year deal.

referencing the '04 train attacks in Madrid - the IOC felt sorry for them because of something that was Bush's fault.
