"Totally fair question, FYI.  \nI guess I have faith that at least one of those big four (NY, LA, SF, Chicago) will step up to the plate once they realize the time has come and the IOC is willing to come back to the U.S. \nAs for other potential candidates, I'm a little suspicious of all of them. I suppose the most viable would be one of Texas' various options, Philadelphia, Boston, Miami. I've never really bought the idea of Minneapolis and although I love Seattle, the geography poses major logistical challenges and the ultra-green mindset isn't going to jump at the major projects a Seattle Games would require. I don't really see Honolulu as a possibility.  \nI do believe that one of those big four will come through by 2028 at the latest and my personal preference would be to wait. If others feel that is too much of a gamble or too long to wait, I see their point of view, I just don't share it. I suspect that no matter what, the next American SOG will take place in one of the big four -- the question is when. The 2020's or the 2040's? I think the USOC has a surprising amount of control over that timeframe. A successful winter bid will mean the SOG will wait until the 40's. The absence of a winter hosting will mean the SOG will most likely happen in the 20's.  \nIf these timeframes are effectively communicated to the powers that be in the various cities, I am confident that the USOC will succeed in eliciting at least one top-drawer bid from the big four. \n"
