Checking In With Levi Johnston

Here are some of my favorite quotes from the Associated Press's interview with Sarah Palin's future son in law, Levi Johnston.
WASILLA, Alaska — Levi Johnston, who's having a baby with Gov. Sarah Palin's daughter, can't believe all the things he's hearing.Since attending the RNC, Levi's dropped out of high school and is now training to be an electrician. The Palin-Johnston clan seems to be off to a good start.
Johnston hinted he's expecting a boy, but he declined to discuss baby names."I'm looking forward to having him," he said. "I'm going to take him hunting and fishing. He'll be everywhere with me."
He's bagged bears, sheep, elk, and caribou. Some of the antlers are scattered about his yard. Last July on a caribou hunt he lost a "promise" ring that Palin had given him. He said he decided to tattoo her name on the finger and not bother with more rings because he'd just lose them anyway.
What about Johnston's politics?
The young man said he wasn't an expert on politics by any stretch. Asked about Barack Obama, he replied: "I don't know anything about him. He seems like a good guy. I like him."
Johnston didn't register in time to vote, according to the Mat-Su Division of Elections Office in Wasilla. But he's still rooting for John McCain and Sarah Palin.
"I just hope she wins," he said. "She's my future mother-in-law. She better win."

The Great Schlep
The video is sponsored by the Jewish Council For Education & Research. Here is the mission statement of support for The Great Schlep:
TheGreatSchlep will focus on encouraging young Jews to visit their grandparents in Florida during the Columbus Day weekend. Each will bring a set of tools made available through TheGreatSchlep.com to help facilitate conversations about the election. This will allow "virtual Schleps" to occur over the course of the election cycle. Users will be able to send Bubbie and Zadie video-grams and sign pledges to call their grandparents frequently during an Obama administration, among other innovative outreach mechanisms. TheGreatSchlep.com is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to introduce into the political process young, mostly un-affiliated Jews, as Jews.
