Do not bring up the fact that you know someone else is making more than you. A lot of companies have polices that allow them to terminate you just for bringing it up. It depends on the state you work in and the companies own policies.
Just do a salary comparison at Monster.com and then tell them that you need to find out how to increase your salary.
The biggest mistake people make when asking for a raise is just simply "demanding" more money.
You have to make it look like you are willing to actually work more. Just say you are interested in increasing your salary and what can you do to make it possible. Don't be afraid to outline the things you already do as well.
If you feel that you are already doing more than what you are making then point that out as well.
The point is you have to make it look like you are more valuable to them.
