George McGovern Urges Clinton to Drop Out
May 7, 2008 – 11:18 am by AndrewFormer senator and early Clinton supporter George McGovern has switched his endorsement to Barack Obama and is urging Clinton to drop out of the race, according to AP. Dominos falling anyone?
Update: Help push those dominos, donate to Obama now!
Update: According to Hufington Post, Hillary will drop out by June 15. Why wait so long? She better drop out a lot sooner than that. I think she will, if she doesn’t she’s definitely insane.
Update: According to Drudge, “CONGRESSIONAL SOURCE: Hillary having trouble finding superdelegates who will meet with her… ‘No one wants to see her today’… Developing…”
Update: here are some quotes from IHT:
But Obama has won the nomination “by any practical test” and is very close to a majority of the pledged delegates, said McGovern, who is 85. Obama moved within 200 delegates of clinching the nomination with his split decision on Tuesday of a win in North Carolina and a narrow loss in Indiana.
It’s time to unite the Democratic Party, he said.
“Hillary, of course, will make the decision as to if and when she ends her campaign. But I hope that she reaches that decision soon so that we can concentrate on a unified party capable of winning the White House next November,” he said.
It is time to unite the party, let the floodgates open!
This was over in February, now its just hurting the party.

McGovern is not a superdelegate, one of the prominent Democrats who has a vote at the national convention.”

I’m surprised that Republicans aren’t financing Hillary’s campaign at this point. They seem to be the ones most excited about the possibility of her winning the nomination.
Reply to Aaron@aaron,
I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them were… Coulter and Limbaugh have both endorsed her, haven’t they?
Reply to BingThe only reason Hillary’s in the race at this point is not to get the nomination, it’s to hurt Obama’s chances at getting elected. Hillary doesn’t care about the race at this point, as she won’t win. It’s going to be a hairy race toward the end, and Hillary’s hidden agenda is not to win. Mark my words.
Reply to KenjiHe is not a super delegate; please correct your post.
