Obama lost East Jesus by just 1,366 votes. Factor out all of Falwell's Liberty University students, and Obama carried the city by a large margin. That's amazing.
We're making plans to go to DC for the inauguration. We decided we'd go no matter the outcome, but the historical significance of this particular inauguration makes us want to be there all the more.

I told C this morning that I would love to go to the inauguration. It should be amazing.
Well wouldn't that be fun!?! You will bring the kids, right?
With things so up in the air in our lives right now, I don't think we can make any definite plans. It's nice to dream, though. :)
Man... if I could extend my Christmas trip in Vermont for a month longer... I could join ya!
Guess I'll be there in spirit.
You know I love you Michelle. But I have to be honest and say I'm not feeling too kindly toward the Mormon Church right now. I know the church doesn't represent your views. But man, they pulled off a huge setback in CA. It's a VERY sad day for us married folk. I just want to weep.
I'm crying with you believe me. I was NOT with the church on this one.
Sadly, not enough Mormons spoke out against their church.
Fran and I have talked about going down for it since her brother is so close to DC.
Trop, I feel ya re: Cali. I am so sickened.
And DAMMIT! I wanna go to the inauguration. :( Are you going to take pics for those of us who have to stay home and work?
There's part of me that would love to go -- after being in Springfield twice and in Chicago for the usual, it would be appropriate. But I've done three inaugurals, and I had a good enough time but it's a different culture.
OTOH, I suspect there will be a few things going on that will make this a very different kind of inauguration. Plus, DC is such a fun city (particularly outside the usual political/beltway stuff).
So GO! Whooo-HOOOO!
