Wasn't there some huge scandal with the 2002 Olympics?

I'm sure Romney wasn't directly involved, but I, like most people, only associate the SLC Olympics with corruption.

Why hasn't this been the subject of any attacks on Romney, since he brings up those Olympics himself so often?

Lesseee...it could be because Romney was brought in specifically to repair the games AFTER the scandal.  Just a guess. 

[A-Bob]

Because Romney has been acclaimed the "savior of the olympics"

[Bacon King]

Yeah, Romney stepped in to repair the damage after the bribery scandal was discovered.

If one were to attack Romney for the Salt Lake City Olympics, it'd probably be best to highlight the 29% cost overrun (I don't know how much of that is Romney's fault, but if you're making a political attack out of it I guess it wouldn't really matter anyway). Or, better yet, just highlight the typical "round up the homeless" and broken promises of "sustainable development to benefit the least fortunate among the host city's community" that accompany every Olympics to add to the whole "Mitt Romney hates poor people" meme.

Because nobody cares about the Winter Olympics?

I can think of about 30,000,000 people north of the 49th parallel who'd disagree with you.

No because if there were a scandal with corruption regarding the Olympics, the media would've tied the entire Republican Party to it and would still be talking about it today. It wouldn't have gone away until after the 2004 election and Obama would be talking about that instead of saying that business owners didn't earn it themselves.

Why?  I'd always heard that Canada goes wild over hockey and that's in the Summer Olympics.

Pretty sad that you can't appreciate the great accomplishments of the Olympians, in particular the Americans, as the SLC games were our best ever

[Simfan34]

Yes, but, alas, Romney was brought in to solve it, therefore he could have played no role in the bribery scandals surrounding it. Which is really good for him, because it involved gifts of prostitutes. Those wacky Mormons...
