The Great Schlep

There has been a fair amount of innovation in Mr. Obama campaign (certainly more so than in his policies). One intriguing one is called The Great Schlep, where young Jewish people are urged to go down and convinced their grandparents to vote for Mr. Obama. They need to overcome several issues, including race, but one of the largest is the fear that Mr. Obama will not support Israel enough. There is anecdotal evidence that the movement is having some effect.

One problem. Rev. Jackson, who is not an advisor to Mr. Obama, but whose son runs Mr. Obama's campaign, thinks that Mr. Obama will actually not be very pro-Israel.
