Rye's Ashley Craig: Part of an Obama-Nation

Berkeley, Kent State, Selma, Rye? Our (mostly) sleepy bedroom community is not exactly a hotbed for national political action.

But don't tell that to Rye's Ashley Craig. The Conservation Commission/Advisory Council member is hosting a debate watching and phone bank event for Barack Obama this Tuesday evening at her Johnson Place home. Craig is also the county coordinator for WOW, Westchester Obama Women, according to The New York Times. Watch out Obama Girl!

Tuesday's event is limited to 12 attendees and there are only seven remaining spots.

The event sounds decidedly more down market than the $2,300 per person breakfast (a real WOW) Rye resident and Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain held for his candidate John "Mack the Knife" McCain.
