Also, check out www.thegreatschlep.com to see how the progressive Jewish community is trying to mobilize young people to convince their grandparents to vote Obama.  I'll be tracking this to see if it actually amounts to anything this weekend.  The promotional video featuring Sarah Silverman (mildly offensive, but I am not the target audience!) is located on the left side of this blog page (scroll down).
