Former Sen. George McGovern, who backed Hillary Rodham Clinton, is urging her to drop out of the Democratic presidential race.

McGovern said Wednesday he has decided to endorse Barack Obama.

After watching the returns from the North Carolina and Indiana primaries Tuesday night, McGovern says it's virtually impossible for Clinton to win the nomination.

McGovern says he is calling former President Clinton to tell him of the decision and adds that he remains close friends with the Clintons.

10. Another blowfor the Clinton supporters. Again, can we consider being gracious ...

...over the next few days as they work through their grief over last night's results.

Doesn't mean we will be doormats, but maybe just a little understanding of what they are going through will help us communicate with them better?

Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.

11. I sympathize with 99% of the Hillary supporters here.

But the other 1% are beyond hope and don't deserve anything in return.

2. If anybody knows what "It's Over" means, it's George McGovern

I wonder when Walter Mondale is going to tell her the same thing?

4. That's big news thanks for the link

McGovern has a lot of sway even if he is not a super.
The Clintons worked on his campaign.

7. Yikes. Two within the first 24 hours.

First Clark, now McGovern.

But after the conference call this morning, you have to wonder if the campaign is going to take the hint.
