I agree with Boston and Denver. Regarding Seattle, doesn't it get a good amount of rain too? I know you hear about how rainy it is and that they get it almost every day. I'm assuming it's nothing like the torrential downpours you get in the south on a summer afternoon, though.

Problem with Denver is that they were actually AWARDED the 1976 Winter games...but never hosted. Voters rejected a bond issue to help finance the games and eventually settled on Innsbruck (hosts of the 1964 winter games). I know that there most likely isn't anyone on the IOC that was involved in that mess...but you have to think there may still be a stigma associated with Denver in the IOC.

Damn, because really everything else fits there.

Population is big enough to support it, huge airport, great weather, beautiful environment/scenery. (Denver that is)

Makes me curious though, would California being broke as frick affect their chances?

I could see it doing well in San Fran.

Other options that might work are Chicago, Indianapolis or Boston.

It doesn't rain here in the summer hardly at all (which is when the Olympics would be). It would likely be between 70-80 degrees and sunny for the entire event.

As far as event centers or stadiums, what are the major ones that the Olympics would require?
