Can New Mexico be a great place for the 2012 olympic games?
The 2012 Summer Olympic Games are in London, England. New Mexico would be a terrible place to hold the Olympics. The USA is flat broke, New Mexico is hot as heck during the summer, they don't have the facilities to hold the people that would want to see the Olympics live in person. The Summer Olympics should have a permanent home in Greece and the Winter Olympics should have a permanent home in Switzerland or Sweden. That would save a lot of people a lot of money having the Olympics in different places every 4 years.
