The Clinton campaign is getting very desperate. Their latest attack on Obama is that he is plagiarizing Duvall Patrick’s speeches, even though Patrick is a friend of Obama and claims that they regularly exchange ideas on speeches. Patrick does not believe he is owed any citation.

Further, Clinton’s attack dog, Howard Wolfson, would not claim that Clinton had never done something like this, claiming that rhetoric isn’t as important to her campaign.

Let’s see – they’re attacking Obama because he gives a nice speech and he won’t debate her in Wisconsin even though they’ve had 18 debates and 2 more are scheduled.

This is the Bush/Rove/Dick Morris strategy – treat the voters like they’re complete idiots. Of course, this crap has worked in the past. Will this year be any different?
