The comedian Sarah Silverman has helped start The Great Schlep, a campaign to encourage Jewish grandchildren with grandparents living in in Florida to implore said grandparents to vote for Barack Obama. As she puts it, the Jewish population in that state could swing it one way or the other... so familial pressure is warranted! Also, since not everyone is Jewish, she wants it made clear that we can all do our part in the great schlep for hope.
At the web site, she has a very funny video as her rallying cry. A word of caution is warranted, however, since it contains a bit of profanity. It doesn't rise to the level of a New Jersey dock worker. Rather, it is more on par with a McCain campaign rally these days.

Addition: In another bit of humor, take a look at this song parody about Sarah Palin. It's clever, but again, it contains some colorful language.
