Jews for Obama: Sarah Silverman Edition
by Michael HoffmanThursday, September 25th, 2008
Mik Moore, the editor of Jspot, a Jewish social action blog, the Director of Communications and Public Policy at Jewish Funds for Justice and the co-executive director of Jewish Council for Education and Research (JCER), a political action committee supporting Obama, created The Great Schlep, a project to get Jews to travel to Florida to convince their grandparents to vote for Obama.
The idea is that Jews in Florida can determine the outcome of the election and that the best way to get Jews to vote for Obama is for their grandchildren to come down and convince them. (Most observers say the Democrats win Florida and they win the election, and we know from 2000 that even a few hundred votes the other way make the difference.)
They got the best spokesperson ever for this, Sarah Silverman, who I not-so-secretly love to death.
Here’s Sarah explaining The Great Schlep (if you are offended by bad words, don’t watch it.)
