It is interesting to see the reactions coming out in Chicago after this initial victory - most of them seem positive. The Tribune is clearly in favor with Blair Kamin again leading the charge. Here is an interesting Tribune article (login may be required):

ESPN.com's story also seems to be positive:

It will be tough to keep momentum for the next 2.5 years...

Thanks for your insight Alan but I don't agree at all! Chicago is hungry to fully remake its image into a global economic superpower and the Olympics are a huge part of making this happen.
I look forward to sparring with you over the coming years!
