Barack or Deval?

Obama has cleverly stated that he doesn't know who he is running against- Hill or Bill? Well, it is Clinton's turn to ask who she's running against- Barack or Deval?

I honestly don't think it is a big deal for politicians to use one-liners or themes from fellow politicians, etc. The problem that I see with Obama using Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick's words is that Obama has built his campaign, well movement, on his ability to inspire the masses that will potentially incite change. He doesn't speak about policy specifics in his speeches, so one would think that he would have plenty of time to come up with his own material. His supporters cite his genuine inspirational nature (as opposed to that robot bitch, Hillary) as his major accomplishment / reason that he should be our president. Should his supporters excuse this (which they will), it is hypocritical (an overused term that I HATE to use). I have always credited Obama with his ability to inspire America, so this is a let down for me as well. Maybe we should credit Patrick with America's renewed hope. Just a thought.
