I've been thinking lately about the various politically related stories coming out of the London -- whether it's Mitt putting his foot in his mouth, or (much more interestingly) the criticism surrounding a number of measures taken by officials to make the games a success. Then it struck me -- if Chicago had gotten the 2016 Olympics, that would seriously affect how the US media reports on the event, since it may offer an election year window into what Chicago (and, to an extent, the US) has to look forward to four years in the future.
So how about it -- say roughly the same stuff, Olympics related, were happening in a TL where the US is next in line; how might the Olympics be covered differently?
