More than 100 Wood River Valley women gathered in the backyard of a home in Hailey recently for a “Women for Obama” party. People were encouraged to register if they had not already done so, to vote early, and spread the word. It was one of hundreds of grassroots events held across the country this week to send a message that women do support Sen. Barack Obama because of his record on women’s issues, stem cell research and the war in Iraq. “Women for Obama” was started by 12 women in Seattle who had begun to worry about the regrets they would have if they didn’t become involved in the outcome of this election. The hosts were Janet Barton, Margaret Block, Kathryn Graves, Naomi Runkel and Liz Schwerdtle.
