"...it’s not enough for just some of us to prosper - for alongside our famous individualism, there’s another ingredient in the American saga, a belief that we’re all connected as one people. If there is a child on the south side of Chicago who can’t read, that matters to me, even if it’s not my child. If there is a senior citizen somewhere who can’t pay for their prescription drugs, and having to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it’s not my grandparent. If there’s an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties." - Barack Obama (eloquent summary of the Democratic Party)

There is a very good [and short :)] article about Obama and McCain in this week's "The Economist." I recommend stopping by your local Borders and reading it!
