HARPERS FERRY, W.Va. (AP) _ The huge crowds expected for President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration are spilling over into West Virginia, where hotels throughout the Eastern Panhandle are booked solid.
Hotels as far away as Morgan County, a two-hour drive from Washington, D.C., report being full that weekend.
Even campgrounds, like the Harpers Ferry KOA Campground, are seeing Obama supporters from Texas and California booking cabins.
Tom Belfield, general manager of the Holiday Inn in Martinsburg, says all 120 rooms are booked, and he can't even offer suggestions to people asking where they might find a vacancy.
To accommodate the crowds, the Maryland Rail Commuter Service, which runs two trains daily from Martinsburg to the nation's capital, may add additional runs on Inauguration Day on Jan. 20.

lets see if any the media reports on the cost of the inauguration. they worried about clothes for palin.
reply to sunny. nothing wrong with showing people getting killed honorably but to be murdered is a little different dont you think.
Media selected Obama Hillary medicare that was a total Joke. Obama didn't earn it. Only two years as a congressman in Washington qualifies him to be President? Ne's never been mayor of town or governor of a state? The Media was in the tank big time for Obama. Demo's need to stop blameing Bush for everything,and start takeing some responcabiliy also. They have both house,and senate for the past two yrs. They have the lowest rateings ever what 11%. Dems are just a gulity as the republicans are. Please! forgive my spelling.
