Even though she's 14 years away from being able to vote, little Lou Cubberly gets to head to D.C. to see President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration. The Daily News reports that the 4-year-old's father Craig entered his daughter's name (plus his own and his wife's) into the lottery for tickets: "I saw the rules, you had to be a New York resident and had to have an e-mail address, but there was no age restriction." Craig Cubberly, who gets to accompany his daughter to the festivities, told the Post, "It will be a great father-daughter moment watching history." The Post also spoke to another ecstatic inauguration ticket lottery winner Patty James, a longtime Republican-turned-Obama supporter. Her husband confirmed she was thrilled, "When she screamed out she won the lottery, I thought it was Mega Millions. I was a little disappointed."
