"Chicago will vie with two other iconic American cities -- San Francisco and Los Angeles -- for what many consider to be the country's best shot in years at landing a Summer Games after the U.S. Olympic Committee eliminated Houston and Philadelphia from the running Wednesday."

"The three remaining cities will now have to finalize plans, including budgets, and present their bids to the USOC board of directors, which will decide by year's end whether to submit a bid for the 2016 Games. If it does, it will pick a city by the end of next March. The IOC will select the winning site in 2009."
