A sentence isn't a bigass chunk of a speech, but what the hell...try seeing if it will float!

It isn't that it doesn't 'count,' it just doesn't "rise to the level."

And if you weren't being disingenuous, you'd acknowledge that.

He stole "Yes, We Can" from Cesar Chavez, too, if you want to get nitpicky about "phrase useage"...but that's entered the public domain with use by anyone and everyone with a "cause" to tout, so no one gets excited about that.

The old "with whatever before you were against whatever" belonged to Kerry, once upon a time but now it belongs to everyone and ANYONE who wants to make a point about flip-flopping. A sentence or a phrase isn't the same as whole paragraphs from a speech, now, is it?

The real sin, as I've said, is that Deval did a WAY better job than Barack. And Deval is not generally regarded as "the better" speaker.
