With Obama Everything Is An Event

From the Washington Times:

In Virginia - where Mr. Obama defeated Republican competitor Sen. John McCain by earning nearly 53 percent of the vote - the Electoral College ceremony is being moved from the old House chamber in the Capitol to the new House chamber that can accommodate more people.

The old chamber - where Robert E. Lee accepted command of Virginia’s forces in 1861 - holds roughly 100, she said. The newer chamber has room for double that number.

“We do have much more interest this year than we have noticed in the past,” Miss Parker said. “So we moved it, so we could accommodate twice as many people.”
