Caren, Atlanta would surely be a better choice. If the security issue can be managed, it likely can.

Atlanta is young, brash, bold, and leaning purple. It's gaining population while Chicago is losing population.

Surrounded by youth, Joe may look younger -- or just older?

Between now and making his announcement, Joe must have a "Just watch me" moment beyond all previous goofs: that, and notable people stop enabling him.

Many thanks. Best.
