>Is this telling us that the American dream is still very much alive, despite what is being preached at the democratic convention, or is this just the rich getting richer?

If Odrama wins and you ask a Democrat then that person will tell you that the American dream is alive again.
If McCain wins and you ask a Republican then that person will tell you that the American dream continues to be alive and well.
If Odrama loses and you ask a Republican then that person will tell you that the American dream is dead.
If McCain wins and you ask a Democrat then that person will tell you that the American dream is dead.
That about covers it :)
