1. HE IS AN EXTREMELY smart man. If he got help, it must have been minimal.
He was the editor of the Harvard Law Review when he was a student.

2. According to his wife ...
yesterday on WBEZ, she said he wrote it himself in a few hours. She helped with some grammatical issues, but it was all him.

4. I read that he spent the past five weeks working on it
The Illinois Senate apparently was deadlocked and he used some of that time to write the speech.
