DO OBAMA & DEVAL PATRICK share a speechwriter or something?

UPDATE: Aha: “Does anyone know where David Axelrod is? He, after all, would seem to be the obvious culprit on this ‘plagiarism’ issue. He’s been a consultant for both campaigns… it’s an open secret that he’s the one likely responsible for the similarities in language. You’d think he might want to clear the air.”

ANOTHER UPDATE: More on Axelrod here, including a Bob The Builder angle that InstaPundit readers got ages ago.

MORE: Name that scandal? I think it’s more of a kerfuffle.
