Examining the charge of plagiarism Hillary Clinton's campaign has leveled against Barack Obama.
  • seems silly

    First, I think this is by far the most ridiculous "attack" yet, such a non-issue that it boggles the mind that we're discussing it (especially as someone earlier commented, Patrick DOESN'T CARE).

    But it seems liked a flawed strategy regardless. It seems like all she's doing is confirming what her base already thinks, but I doubt that those who are voting in the upcoming primaries (people who are, by and large, more politically active than the general populous...after all they're VOTING!) probably won't be swayed to her side by this...I suspect primary voters are a bit more astute than that.

    However, I think this WILL hurt Obama if he gets the nomination...then this kind of thing could find real traction with the non-politically active...which is a shame when you think about it.
