As the race (was done) went down to the wire in Wisconsin, Hillary Clinton’s campaign was accusing Barack Obama (a) of plagiarism for his use of phrases (is) similar to those used previously in (the) a speech by M governor Ceval Patrick. Obama responded by saying that he (impatric) and P are friends and that they often share ideas and rhetorical flourishes.

       Although most independent (ponders) pundits viewed the charge of plagiarism (in M saturated) as exaggerated. They did(n’t) see possible damage to Obama’s image in the eyes of  the voters because his soaring oratory has been his strongest (acid) asset.

       In her campaign (’s) speeches, Hillary Clinton has been stressing the word “solutions”, Hillary has said in (fact) effect that Obama speaks well but that she offers real solutions to the problems that (flick) afflict the nation. In her campaign appearances across the state, Clinton has focused on the economy and her plans to promote job growth.

“What we really need here in Wisconsin and across America is (the) an economy that is producing good jobs with rising wages for everybody willing to work hard and I have been focused on the economy throughout this campaign.”

TRANSLATION:

    当选举在威斯康星州进入最后冲刺时刻时，HC指责O剽窃，因为他的用词和马萨诸塞州长官DP之前的演说稿相似。O回应称他和P是好朋友并且他们经常互相分享想法和辞藻优美的文章。

尽管自由党派博学家认为剽窃的指责有些夸张，但是这可能使O在投票者眼中的形象遭到破坏，因为他富有激情的演讲是他最为有力的资本。

在她的竞选演讲中，HC强调了“解决”，C说O的演说的确很好，但是她能给困扰国家的难题提供实实在在的解决方案。在她的整个竞选中，C一直把重心放在经济增长和促进就业增长的计划。

“在威斯康星州和整个美国，我们所真正需要的是经济，它能为每个都愿意努力工作的人提供好的工作，增加薪水。在整个竞选过程中，我一直在关注国家的经济情况。”
