If you're like me, your nana is scared of Barack Obama because he has a weird name and isn't white. I didn't think there was any hope of convincing Nana Esther to vote Democratic this time around even though she is very liberal and a huge fan of Bill Clinton. Well, thanks to the talking points on The Great Schlep (and a little help from Governor Palin), my aunt was able to convince Nana to become an Obama supporter! Here is the email she sent me this weekend:
Hey, I talked to Nana Esther this morning and she's finally convinced Obama is the one. What's more amazing is that my mom who NEVER votes Democratic is also voting for Obama. The thought of Sara Palin possibly becoming our president scared her into it! I really don't know anyone anymore who is considering McCain.
This is my Nana, the Obama supporter:
And you should definitely check what out Sarah Silverman has to say about all this:

Your Bubba looks so nice. Especially now that she's voting Obama.
The Great Schlep is Great...and I love our Sarah Silverman.

this is the first time my bubbie is not on this earth to vote for president, but she always voted democratic. (And she didn't let us call her bubbie, she was too "modern".)
