McGovern: Clinton Should Drop Out
Former Sen. George McGovern, who has until now supported Hillary Clinton, is now calling on her to drop from the Democratic race, according to the Associated Press. Following the outcome of the Indiana and North Carolina primaries, he has decided to endorse Barack Obama.
The AP reports that McGovern, a former Democratic presidential nominee, now believes it is virtually impossible for Clinton to take the nomination.
Clinton campaign spokesman Jay Carson responds to the decision: "We respectfully disagree with Senator McGovern on this and millions and millions of voters agree that this contest should continue."
McGovern is reportedly calling Bill Clinton to make him aware of his decision and says he remains friends with both Bill and Hillary Clinton. The couple worked on McGovern's 1972 campaign. Hillary, then a Yale law student, helped register Latino voters in Texas. Her then boyfriend, Bill, was a Texas organizer for McGovern.

Obama has illegally raised ''money'' with his connections in the Chicago political mafia, including the FBI indicted Syrian born, Chicago slumlord Tony Rezko and Iraqi billionaire Nadhmi Auchi. There are more skeletons in Obama''s background, such as his friend domestic terrorist William Ayers. If Obama is the Democratic nominee, Republicans will drag Obama through the mud, and McCain will be the next President.
"WRONG! Obama is the one who should drop out because his nom. will surely get us McCain in November!"

Uhm... no offense, but if the young, inexperienced upstart can destroy the Inevitable Candidacy of the Clinton War Machine...
McCain doesn''t stand a chance.
The tally is there.
Hillary WINS!BIG!

Hillary agreed not to run in MI and FL just like Obama did, just like Edwards did, just like Richardson did. If you are saying that Hillary should take those votes because she left her name on the ballot when she pledged to take it off than you are advocating that she is a liar.
Either way, all of the FL delegates and all of the MI delegates are not enough to take the lead. She is out.

Any Dem will win the Blue states, Dems are out in historic numbers. The states in question are the swing states where Obama has shown consistently that he can bring out independents to vote for him.

Your not very bright are you. Historic Dem turn out + extremely poor Rep turn out 24% of Republicans voting AGAINST McCain in Penn, IN and NC = Obama presidency. Simple math that I''m sure even someone with your limited knowledge can comprehend.
Obama can beat McCain, as McCain is tied to Bush and the unpopular war in Iraq. Obama will be swiftboated on Bill Ayers and the ranting pastor and probably race, but maybe we''ve learned something about how to deal with swiftboating and the nastiness and lying on the Internet. If Hillary wins the nomination, she too will be vulnerable to those kinds of egregious tactics. Early in the primary campaign there was a website organization called Citizens United Not Timid. Note what the acronym spells out.
Obama (a fool''s choice) will get us McCain . . .don''t you get it?

See all 15 CommentsThis goes to show why she is unfit to be President.
$15 million in debt and she claims to have passed the Steward of the Economy test.
But Hillary made LOANS to her campaign and now she will want that money repaid so all you Hillary Supporters like RowdyTexan, you better increase your donations to Hillarys campaign (or should it now be called the Hillary Loan Repayment Fund)
But please remember Hillary will get ALL her money back, because its a LOAN; you however will only have your memories and a smaller bank balance.
Hillary relies on suckers like you to GIVE your money, while she cleverly LOANS hers.
When this is over she will have a bath in 100 dollar bills because all her 110 million dollar fortune is still there ! But don%u2019t worry she will be thinking of you and your kind donations !
