They Lost!

Chicago loses in the first round. Only 18 votes out of 94? Can you believe it? Chicago Out After First Round of Voting - Chicago Tribune.

Woo hoo! Yes, we will be celebrating the loss at our house. We've gone back to news free, because you know they are going to days of analysis of why we didn't get it, but I can't wait to see Mayor Daley's reaction. You know he's going to have say something ridiculous.

Lola said...: @ Patricia - Yes! But I'm sure we'll hear it analyzed to death in the coming days, weeks. Oh well, at least we don't have to deal with it.; October 2, 2009 at 12:51 PM

Glad Rio got it especially once I found out they were ready for it unlike Chicago.; October 2, 2009 at 1:55 PM
