Inauguration crowds are no hype

By: Eric Morath Posted: 01/20/09 11:11am

Washington – My prediction that the inauguration crowds were a little over-hyped was off — by a long shot.

As of 8:10 this morning, parking lots at most of the suburban Metro rail stations were full and the television news showed lines snaking around the subway station, just to get on the train.

Lines appear to be even longer to actually get on the National Mall.
