I wonder if Toronto will bid again. They were strong contenders in 1996 and 2008, so they may be "due" in the eyes of the voters (especially if 2016 is seen as a North American year). There's still the perception that Toronto was shafted by Atlanta's underhanded bid in '96, so there may be a sympathy vote as well. Plus Toronto offers many of the benefits of New York (i.e. east coast time zone) without having to deal with the anti-American sentiments that some votes will have.
