A Smaller Party for the Big "O"

It appears that inaugural festivities will not be quite as large as initially expected.

The original estimates were that 4 million visitors would clot the highways and byways of Washington DC for this big party. This is only one of the factors which caused me to scuttle the trip for which I had reserved vacation days.

The Washington Post (yes, I'm actually linking them because they need the help) tells of multitudinous prospective renters who still "have room in the inn" for inaugural partyers.

Maybe if you wait until the very last minute, you can get a great rental deal. I'm suspecting that festivities at this event are far out of the reach of the average Obama supporter, however.
