The debate on the campus of the University of Texas in Austin was marked more by broad agreement on policy issues from immigration to health care, from the war in Iraq to this week's resignation by Cuban President Fidel Castro, but there were a few contentious moments. One came when Senator Obama was asked about charges that he had stolen phrases from a speech by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick using them in his own speeches without attribution.
      "(On) the notion that I (have) had plagiarized from (somebody) someone who's one of my national (cultures) co-chairs who gave me the line and suggested that I use it I (take it) think is silly." Senator Clinton followed up by saying that if a candidate bases his campaign on words they should be his own.
      "There is no doubt that you are a passionate, eloquent speaker and I (apologize) applaud you for that. But when you look at what we face in this country, we do need to unite the country, but we have to unite it for a purpose around very specific goals."

    在德州大学校园里的辩论，双方在政治问题上达成了广泛的共识，从移民到医疗保健，从伊拉克战争到这周古巴总统卡斯特罗的辞职。但是，依旧有些争论的时刻，其中一个就是当O被问及他从M长官DP的演讲中偷取言辞，原封不动地用在自己的演讲上。

       “认为我剽窃一个我们国家长官言辞的想法，我认为很愚蠢，因为是他给我这些文章并建议我使用。”参议院C随后说，如果一个竞选者要用语言进行竞选，那应该用自己的语言。

       “毫无疑问，你是一名负有激情和辩才的演讲者，我为此而向你鼓掌，但当看到我们国家现在所面临的问题时，我们必须团结国家，但我们必须为一个由具体的目标组成的目的而团结起来。”
