The Great Schlep: Gettin' Your Jewish Nana to Vote for Obama

By Cate Sevilla

Jewish? Have Jewish grandparents? Do they live in Florida? Perfect! The Great Schlep needs your help!

Apparently 80% of Jews in America are registered to vote, and according to JewsVote.org, "Jews overwhelmingly choose the more progressive candidate". So, given this voting history, why are only 60% of Jews down with the Obama?

As we all found out in 2004 ("when a little guy named Al Gore was fucked by the state of Florida"), Florida is a rather important state in the election. So! This is why Sarah Silverman and The Great Schlep want you, the sweet, innocent, Democratic grandchild, to go to Florida and threaten your Jewish Nana that if she doesn't vote for Obama, you're going to NEVER going to get married. Or something. It's up to you. Just make sure you scare her into voting for Obama. That's the important part.

"Vote for McCain, to me you're a shit stain. Yeah, I just made that up. On top of my head. Yeah, I'm proud of myself."

Damn, I love Sarah Silverman
