I have just been informed that I am not allowed to vote.

Despite mailing in my voter registration, ON TIME, to the CORRECT ADDRESS, apparently it was "lost in the mail," according to the woman who works at the City of Somerville (where I live) Election Department. Because I moved out of the city where I was previously registered more than 18 months ago, I am, per her words "unable to vote on November 4th."

The Jews are not enough!

With the battle for the Swing States still in full, well, swing, it's imperative that the presidential candidates do whatever they can to try and influence voters in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida, and do it quickly.

The recent Great Schlep (the Sarah Silverman-endorsed initiative to encourage young Jewish people to travel down to Florida and convince their grandparents to vote for Barack Obama) was one of the more creative ways that Barack Obama's supporters have conjured to try and garner votes and media attention.
