improvement however, today some conservative leaning pundits have pointed out the Obama's Springfield speech did not mention "democrat" or "democratic party" one time.

Hardly the way to start a Democratic movement

"Actually, it makes me really happy that you don't get it where I am coming from."

But I know where you want to be...you would like to be one of the people in the audience in Springfield who had tears running down their face as Obama entered the race.  Think Wordsworth watching the French revolution unfold.

You want to believe.

To a lot of people, Obama is more than a candidate, he's the "crown of creation" of the US civil rights movement.

In that way, he fits your definition of a movement, someone you'd vote for even if you didn't agree with him because he was the spear head of a movement you did believe in.
