All in all, seems to have been a non-event. It probably helped that it was the day of Barack Obama’s inauguration — which grabbed the attention of many Americans. At least here in the northeast, there was nothing else on radio or television, and it was rather spectacular. (I cannot remember paying any attention at all to an inauguration in the past.)
