I'm going to the inauguration next week--it still seems unreal, somehow

That's awesome. :)

And I'm pretty jealous you get to go, yep.

My roomie made hotel reservations over six months ago! We're so excited--we heard him speak in March of '07 in Selma, Alabama (at an annual Civil Rights memorial) and we were both very impressed.

Take and post lots of pictures you lucky girl!

[snowe]

I'll try to get some good ones! :D

Bah humbug! I'm proud to say I voted for Clinton.

I was nine when Clinton was elected the first time! :-P

then again... Minnesota.

I think that makes a big difference. Mississippi is still very segregated...everyone I knew when I was growing up was a white evangelical, conservative Republican.

Oh god, Bachman. I guess you can find wingnuts everywhere. :(

I would be jealous, but 2 to 4 million people sounds unpleasant and possibly scary. Especially with that much security and transportation shut down, I hope you're staying close! I know so many people going, I think the 4 million projection might be correct. I even know a Republican that's going!

Have a good trip! Stay safe! And do take lots of pictures!

I am a bit scared of the crush, to be honest. I'll try to get some good pics!

Ah politics. I usually don't bother talking too much about politics with my family. They're pretty ignorant. I could try to enlighten them and stuff, but I guess I can't be arsed with that battle.

I try to avoid it because I don't want to fight, but I'm honest if they ask about my opinion.
