Clinton campaign would not guarantee they had footnoted language.
From Jake Tapper:

I asked Clinton communications director Howard Wolfson and Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass, if they could assure the public that neither Clinton nor McGovern has ever done what Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, did when he used the rhetoric of Gov. Deval Patrick without footnoting him.

They would not.

In fact, Wolfson seemed to say it wouldn't be as big a deal if it were discovered that Clinton had "lifted" such language.

"Sen. Clinton is not running on the strength of her rhetoric," Wolfson said.

1. They are a joke.
I am going to have a VERY difficult time voting for her if she gets the nod.

2. You just know all these reporters are shaking their heads and laughing at the Clinton campaign.
They don't even make sense at this point.

What a contrast to the logical and on-point discipline of the Obama campaign.

3. She claimed that Obama "stole" the Infrastructure Bank idea from her--
she claimed it was her proposal. She lied. She signed on as a cosponsor to Dodd-Hagel a week after they introduced it, when infrastructure was a big buzzword following the Minnesota bridge collapse. Dodd and Hagel worked for more than two years on it--she did nothing but cosponsor and try to take credit.

4. Well, she needed to sign on -- it appears that her infrastructure is cracking.
