I wouldn’t trust George McGovern with a 3-minute egg(his WW2 accomplishments excepted - but that’s it).

Win or lose, the Dems and press who turned on Hillary are going to end up paying a price.

She doesn't get mad, she gets even. First she will try and punish legislatively. What she can't get done that way will get done via the smear.

These people have no idea the level of hell that is about to be turned loose on them.

I’m sure George was giving Hillary the same “1000%” backing he gave his first vice presidential running mate Tom Eagleton.

A bigger Obama '08 landslide would help George forget.

This is why those anti-Operation Chaos trolls were pushing obama. If Clinton could have won Ind. with more margin we would not be having this discussion today.

I can’t imagine her giving up yet. She HAS to have some dirty tricks left to play.

She has to have consequences waiting for those who bail. If she gets pushed out, someone’s gonna suffer.

Why should she drop out? Obama doesn’t even have a simple majority of the delegates?

Take this one all the way to the Democrat Convention, Hillary.

McGovern is WHY there are Superdelegates in the Democrat system TODAY. To avoid that boondoggle again.

McGovern’s endorsement of Obama should be seen as a kiss of death to his campaign.
