Writing from Fort Lauderdale, Joel Stein reports that a new pro-Obama organization is organizing Jewish youngsters to fly down to Florida to persuade their grandparents to vote for Obama:
The Jewish Council for Education and Research—a new pro-Obama political action committee—is organizing “The Great Schlep,” in which hundreds of Jews will make the Southern exodus on Columbus Day weekend, Oct. 10-13. They will travel to the Fort Lauderdale area, where they will visit their grandparents, organize political salons in their condos, and eat incredibly bad food.
Alas, given the problems in a past Palm Beach County election, the article doesn’t say whether the grandkids will be instructing bubby and zaydie on how properly to mark a ballot.
