Clinton accuses Obama of plagiarism

US Democratic presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton
have debated in Texas, the largest state contest left in the race for
the party's nomination. The sharpest words came from Clinton who now
finds herself behind in the nomination process. She accused Obama of
plagiarism for taking a portion of a speech from Massachusetts governor
Deval Patrick. Obama defended his use of Patrick's words, saying he is

The Texas primary will be held on March 4.
