It is about having a view at all.

Nope.

It isn't all about having a view. If that was the case, an estimated four million people would not be trying to make it to Washington DC for the Inauguration. Oh, and people won't need to have a radio on their shoulder. There will be plenty of jumbo televisions set up around the National Mall and spill over areas.

OIC so instead of watching it at your home you can fly to DC and watch it on TV there. Makes plenty of sense.

Yeah pretty much. And be in the, sure to be, electric atmosphere of our first African-American being sworn into office as President. Should be great. Hey, you should tell your protesters who voted for McCain not to show up, because there is bound to be plenty of them there.
