I just read this interesting article in the Huffington Post. It talks about Barack Obama and his ability to inspire.

Robert Creamer writes
"Inspiration comes from appeals to values, not ten point plans.

Obama's attraction to swing voters isn't that he promises to "compromise" with the right -- or adopt right wing values. It is that he inspires them with the traditional progressive values:

• That we're all in this together, not all in this alone;
• Unity not division;
• Hope not fear;
• That people are not commodities to be paid what the market will bear and discarded when they aren't needed, but human beings whose happiness and success are the purpose of the economy."
