Clinton also raised Obama's use in his campaign speeches of words first
uttered by his friend, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick.
"If your candidacy is going to be about words then they should be your
own words," she said. "...Lifting whole passages from someone else's speeches is
not change you can believe in, it's change you can Xerox."
The debate audience booed.
Obama said the entire controversy was evidence of a "silly season"
that the public finds dispiriting.
Yes the public does find this sort of thing dispiriting. The politics of slash-and-burn should be a thing of the past but Hillary keeps going back to it again and again and it is costing her. She always tries to play the bulldog roll but it just doesn't work anymore. I think the heady ideas that Obama is peddling trumps the so-called "politics of personal destruction" that the Clintons seem to engage in. It just seems that she is putting on the Wicked Witch of the West hat now that everything else didn't seem to work. Maybe she and the New York Times can cook up a fake sex scandal to hit Obama with.
