On the night of January 20th, 2009, the San Diego County Young Democrats are hosting a party at the W Hotel for the inauguration of President Barack Obama. The event is expected to be the largest inauguration celebration in the County of San Diego.

As of January 5, 2009, over 350 people have submitted an RSVP for the event. While no RSVP is necessary to attend, an RSVP is encouraged at the Young Democrats website. (http://www.sdcyoungdemocrats.com/).

On the November 4, 2008 election day, the Young Democrats hosted a party to watch election returns at the W Hotel, the same location of the Obama inauguration party. The election night party attracted over 200 people, without the benefit of a coordinated press or media campaign.

“Obama has inspired a huge number of young people to be interested in politics, both nationally, and in San Diego,” said David Gersz, president of the San Diego County Young Democrats. “We wanted to make sure that Obama’s supporters would have a central place to celebrate for this historic night.”
