Chandra for Obama [UPDATED]

Some time ago BSB posted a question about a rumor that Ohio netroots favorite Subodh Chandra was raising money for Sen. Barak Obama. The speculation on the question presented gave way to somewhat ugly Subodh bashing, then his wife wrote a spirited rebuttal. But with all that, the question remained.

I knew that Subodh was planning to devote his considerable energy to getting Obama elected, but didn't know if he was ready to go public. Until now. Subodh has a personal fundraising page up on Obama's community website, and has sent out an announcement about Obama's rally/fundraising tour.

Here are the particulars of that:

-CINCINNATI-

The fundraisers are a bit pricey. I've omitted the contact and pricing info, so contact the campaign -- moneil[at]barackobama.com -- for more details.

Chandra says his almost three-year-old triplets are already saying "Obama for President," so look for another great picture of the triplets in t-shirts coming soon.

UPDATE: After hearing from Subodh, I updated the contact info for the fundraisers. Please not that the BuckeyesforObama address is for the rally only. Email the Moneil address for fundraiser info.
