A speechwriter accused of plagiarizing material used by the Republican
U.S. House candidate resigned Monday after other campaign staff
confronted him about information found on the Internet.

"There was not a way he could continue with us," Martha Rainville said
of her campaign. "This is certainly not acceptable. Plagiarism in any form
is very serious, and there was no need for it."

The similarities in Chris Stewart's speeches and other politicians were first
reported by the "Reason and Brimstone" blog, which is maintained by Julie
Waters of Westminster. Waters, 39, cited three matches she found using
searches in the Internet search engine Google.

Some of the material had appeared on the Web sites of U.S. Sen. Hillary
Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y. and U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Tenn.
