What a nightmare. If our countries have a strained relationship now, it would be heaven compared to what this team effort would produce.

You can't even get good cross-border cell phone service let alone host the Olympics. How many decades away is this?

If Mr. Slim agrees to let the PRI end his monopoly, this may change sooner than any of us could imagine.

Having a son that is an Olympian (water polo) and recently involved in a high school age tournament that included a team from Tijuana, here in So Cal, he said there was much talk of this topic. Not gonna happen. Rio is next and then...well...its not SD/TJ. MIght be some influenials in Long Beach/Huntington Park/on that cud add "TJ" on the brochure but that would take place in LB not SD (similar to FINA).

I understand that San Diego would like to hire Romney as their front man.

Nice to see you here, Ralph.
Wasn't Romney's daddy born in Mexico? That doesn't mean anything. I'm just asking.

Romney managed to make it through the Presidential election without much talk about his Mexican roots. He's just moping around La Jolla these days- why not put his Olympic planning talents to some good? It's not like he's busy...

Don't you think our image is low enough with Mexico? This pompous jerk will for sure drop it to all time lows.

Really? You don't think Mexicans related to him well during the presidential election? Romney's involvement would get the Olympic organizers attention- which is all they need him for at this point. What year are they talking about again?

Do repeat wars count? 2024? One of Romney's cloned sons will have to stand in for Daddy at some point them. Affordable cross border cell service in 11 years is something to look forward to though I guess.

San Diego-Tijuana 2024 Olympic bid suffers crippling blow as USOC rejects cross-border effort - The Washington Post

Won't happen.
