The Greatest Show on Earth?

Barack Obama’s inauguration is only a few days away and we’d like you to be heavily involved in our coverage of it. If you’re going to travel to Washington to see the event for yourself, or have plans for watching or listening from afar, we’d like to hear from you. But let’s be clear, this isn’t going to be an unbridled Obamafest. If you’ve got Obama fatigue and would rather draw the curtains and turn off the radio, we want to hear from you as well.

Either way, let us have your thoughts and please post your phone number as well. We promise we won’t publish it along with your comment here on the blog.

If you’d like to ask them a question, post it here.
