Columbus, Ohio -- Jindal House Party

The final stop was a house party on the northwest side of Columbus at the home of Bipender and Manju Jindal. These are very proud Indian folks who are proud of their citizenship and invited many of their Indian friends, both Hindu and Ziek, and other immigrants to their home on the northwest side of Columbus. The Jindal home is particularly spacious and they were able to have many rows of chairs stretching from their family room into their kitchen. Mr. Jindal spoke to the crowd on the importance of voting and castigated the neocons who have so polluted American politics and foreign policy. Speaking that evening were state representative candidate, Ted Celeste, county commissioner candidate, Marilyn Brown, and of course, our candidate. After a good evening of political debate, some wonderful vegetarian Hindu food was served and it was a welcome repast for your correspondent and our candidate because they had not eaten the entire day on the campaign trail. There were so many delightful folks there, including a wonderful Englishman and his Moroccan wife who spent a great deal of time talking to your correspondent. As we concluded the evening, we made the short drive home, marveling on our experiences of the day and frankly, very tired. The morning would come quickly, although we "fell back" this Sunday and we got an extra hour of sleep before the next day's rallies.
