"Historic" - "Epic Traffic" - Busted Hope?

On Thursday:

Not even Republicans could have planned a worse combination of time and place for a rally in support of Sen. Barack Obama than today's planned 6 p.m. event at Nissan Pavilion....Pete Frisbie, chairman of the Prince William Democratic Committee, said the Obama camp chose Nissan Pavilion in western Prince William because it is the largest venue in Northern Virginia. But the crowds could wind up being twice as large as the pavilion can hold. "It could be up to 50,000," Frisbie said. "It's the first event of the national campaign and a historic moment."

On Friday:

The presumptive Democratic nominee drew more than 10,000 people to a late afternoon rally at Nissan Pavilion.... Die-hard Obama supporters and undecided voters converged on the amphitheater in Prince William County three hours before the candidate was scheduled to take the stage at 6 p.m. State and local transportation officials had braced for a major backup on Interstate 66, but traffic was like that of a normal evening rush.

Wow - anyone else think that Virginia may not be as "Obama-ready" as the campaign had expected? The first event after winning the nomination, and you can only manage 10,000 people?? It's going to be a long 5 months for everybody.
