Happy New Year! And what better way to start out 2009 then with the inauguration of our new president, the 2008 Person of the Year?

Barack Obama will be sworn in on Jan. 20th in our nation’s capitol, and its the party that practically every person in this country wants to attend. (Except Republicans, who are planning to get the heck out of Dodge that weekend.)

But how many will brave the massive crowds and exorbitant hotel costs to stand shoulder to shoulder for hours in icy, bone-chilling weather?

I know what you’re thinking. 1 million people from around the world went to NYC’s Times Square this year to see the ball drop on New Year’s Eve–and that little event happens every year.

The Obama inaugural is a much more historic occurrence. Plus he’s revered like a superhero, and has an adorable family and A-list celeb supporters to boot. So perhaps the real question is: just how many people are going anyway?

Well, the Predicto Mobile community thinks that it will be a lot. In fact, 88% voted that more than 2 million people will attend President-Elect Obama’s swearing-in ceremony.

In any case, no matter how many people go, it will definitely be the largest crowd to ever attend a presidential inauguration in U.S. history!
