Daley eager for extra IOC pitch

Crain's on the continuing Chicago Olympics saga...
Mayor Richard M. Daley says he would welcome an extra chance to make a pitch for Chicago to the International Olympic Committee before they decide which city will host the 2016 summer games.

Mr. Daley welcomed the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Summit Monday morning in downtown Chicago.

Last week, the IOC's executive board said finalist cities will be able to explain their bids to IOC members a few months before next year's final vote. The special meeting will be in Switzerland next spring.

Chicago will find out this June whether it's one of those finalists.

How about some John Kass in case you are cynical.
