There’s an e-mail winging its way to the Carter campaign, but the Lone Star Project is alleging that Stefani Carter, Republican candidate for the District 102 state representative seat currently held by Democrat Carol Kent, not only plagiarized part of Barack Obama’s 2004 Democratic Convention keynote speech, but also padded her resume.
The Lone Star Project offers up a video it says proves she lifted lines from Obama’s speech, as well as a breakdown on the experience she cites. I’m a little meh about the group, though, primarily because it’s hard to insist you’re presenting fact when you’re only fact checking one party.

Here’s a link to the video: http://www.lonestarproject.net/Permalink/2010-06-14.html
Did she use excessive amounts of anaphora and alliteration? How many friends did she mention whose names begin with same consonant as the city in which they reside? Was there a John in Jacksonville?These are the sure signs of an Obama plagiarist.
To be accurate though, except for the annoying up-down-up-pause way of speaking, you don’t plagiarize Obama, you plagiarize Jon Favreau.
@ Matt…standing….clapping.
The Lone Star Group? Do know it is a DEMOCRATIC party organization, right? The Democratic Party in Dallas and this state are so corrupt…
