Round 2 voting

Madrid  = 32
London = 28
Paris = 23
New York = 19 = elimination as lowest no of votes

Had President Bush got behind the bid. They could have eliminated Paris. Alot of people were behind New York as they saw the importance of giving them the games after 9/11.

But when 116 IOC members see 4/5 HEADS of states come and Bush doesn't what does it say....hes not really interested.

He did the videotape because he had too.

Answer me this...why was Bill Clintons speech twice as long as President Bush?

Answer me this . . . why are you wasting space by duplicating your messages in multiple threads?

They are diffeent issues. This is a national issue of importance.

Modu do you not want to know why New York got beat by the French?

Imagine what Chirac would be like now with Bush had Blair done what Bush did...absolutely nothing.

I am making fair comments. The IOC made Clinton and Bloomburg embarassed in defended why 4/5 heads of states came to Singapore but Bush didnt.

I know why NY was beaten . . . they chose NYC.  If they had chosen Albany or some place where it is more open, they probably would have made it into the final grouping.  The problem is, we tend to submit cities that are overly developed and crowded from the beginning, and then trying to do mass urban-renewal in these locations is too expensive, too complex, and too burdensome on the residents.  So, the public tends to be against it.  It has nothing . . . NOTHING . . . to do with whom went where.  NYC was just a poor choice.

Now . . . if you want to reply to this, go back to your initial thread.

NYC lost because it is totally incapable of handling the games, through no fault of its own.  Too much crowding and traffic.

No, it's really not.  There are many important national issues, this is NOT one of them.  And duplicating threads is bad form.
