Chicago has a huge pep rally planned today at Daley Plaza with stage, huge Jumbotron screen, probably music and cheerleaders. All these expected 1000's coming to hear the live announcement about who will host the Olympics in 2016.
No one claims to have a clue about how the Olympic committee will vote, voting or debating is probably going on as I write this, but my money is on Chicago. I still can't make myself believe they will vote against the Obamas.
So, we'll see. The New York Times sort of likes Rio, many think since London has the 2012 games, Europe is out so good-bye Madrid. That leaves Tokyo's bid.
The announcement will be made sometime around noon, EST, with a first cut announcement at around 11:10. The first vote eliminates the city with the fewest votes and then keep voting until they have a winner.
