Both Deval Patrick and Barack Obama had the same campaign guru: David Axelrod.

With that, they run with vague slogans that touched at progressive heartstrings, and they did. Patrick's campaign "Together We Can" and Obama's "Yes, We Can" offered what the beholder thought he or she wanted, without the nasty details.
