We'll see when the grant winners are announced in the fall. I'd put my money on Madison-Milwaukee and Chicago-Detroit. That should be about ~$2 billion out of the 8. Another $3 billion will probably go to California, and the remaining $3 billion will be divided among the rest of the states.
Some money will probably go to DC-Richmond and some to Florida. Depending on the cost for the 3-C route, it might get funding. It makes sense politically, since it's in a major swing state that went Obama in the last election. Plus, it connects four major cities (or five, if you count Akron).
