The Great Talk: Convincing Parents to Vote Obama

If you haven't yet seen Sarah Silverman's video project The Great Schlep, encouraging young people to go visit their grandparents in Florida to convince them to vote for Obama its worth the watch.

Now the Obama campaign has launched The Talk - a video showing young supporters how they can talk to their families and explain to them why they should vote for Obama.

The interesting thing about this video is that it plays on the relationship that Millennials have with their parents. I've written a little about this before, but the short version is that because Millennials have such close relationships with their parents that they are able to convince parents to buy certain products - specific jeans, iPhones, etc...

It stands to reason, that projects like The Great Schlep and videos like The Talk can actually help young people talk to their parents about why they need to vote for Obama.
