 McGovern endorsed Clinton in October.
McGovern endorsed Clinton in October.

(CNN) – Former Sen. George McGovern urged Hillary Clinton Wednesday to drop out of the Democratic presidential race.

McGovern, who had endorsed Clinton, told CNN he was switching his support to endorse Barack Obama.

“It certainly was not out of any less respect for Senator Clinton,” McGovern told CNN in a telephone interview early Wednesday afternoon about his decision to switch his support to Barack Obama. “I think she has waged a really courageous and valiant campaign. She will have my affection and admiration for all of my days.

“But I think mathematically the race is all but won by Barack Obama and the time has come for all of us to unite and get ready for the general election in the fall.”

McGovern also told CNN he had just spoken to former President Bill Clinton about his decision to back Obama – a conversation he described as “very good.”

“I have had many conversations with him over the years, none better than today," McGovern said. "He did me the honor of talking to me about this. There will be no hard feelings with him or Senator Clinton.”

McGovern said he has not spoken to Sen. Clinton today, because he thought she would be too exhausted after Tuesday’s primary but plans to talk to her in the future.”

McGovern is not a Democratic superdelegate, though he is the first major Clinton supporter to publicly suggest the New York senator should abandon her presidential bid following Tuesday night's results.

Responding to the news, Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee said "Senator Clinton appreciates Senator McGovern's friendship, but believes the voters in the upcoming states should have their voices heard in this process."

McGovern formally endorsed Clinton last October, saying then, "I think that if we can elect her president, she'll be a greater president even than her brilliant husband."

McGovern is a longtime friend of both Clintons and his decision is a personal blow to the New York senator and her husband. The couple's long political career has its roots in McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign, during which both Clintons were dispatched to Texas to run the candidate's operation there.

McGovern also remains a popular figure in the Democratic Party and especially in the State of South Dakota, which holds its primary June 3.

Go home Hill.

I am out of energy.

The hating on you needs to stop.

Do the right thing for this country.

dave   May 7th, 2008 11:46 am ET

Enough said.

will   May 7th, 2008 11:46 am ET

Staying in the race now is only a sign of selfishness. She knows she cannot win as she is far behind in delegates and will soon lose the lead in super-delegates. And who in the world would have $11m to lend her campaign? Surely an elitist. It's a pity half her racist supporters cannot look beyond Obama's color to take a stance for the Democratic Party's values. It is truly a sad day for America. :'(

Kal   May 7th, 2008 11:46 am ET

By the way, after Indiana and North Carolina Obama is ahead in POPULAR VOTE even when you include Florida and Michigan!
Obama leads in pledged delegates, number of states won, and the popular vote. In super delegates he is only 14 behind Clinton.
So much for Clinton's argument that she should get the remaining super delegates because of her lead in popular vote.

Corey, Maryland   May 7th, 2008 11:46 am ET

Thank you Mr. McGovern for seeing the light!!!

Thanks Hillary. You fought well. Let us now get behing Obama and help dems win.

Greg, NY   May 7th, 2008 11:46 am ET

Know what I've learned from this primary?

When I play a game with my friends, if it's a small game and I lose, "Well, it was a small game, so it doesn't matter."

If I play a big game with them that they normally win at and I lose, "Well, you normally win, so it was expected and doesn't matter."

If I play a big game that I normally win and lose, "Well, if we were playing by different rules, I would have won. So, it doesn't matter."

Thanks Hillary for being my new role model!

Temitayo Gidado   May 7th, 2008 11:46 am ET

Darth Vadik, CA   May 7th, 2008 11:46 am ET

Until now I have said stay in, but it is time to go.

At least do it with dignity so you can run for NY State Governor.

Dennis F   May 7th, 2008 11:47 am ET

YES HILLARY CAN!!! Hillary will make a 100% effort to carry on and if at the end she is not successful, she will prove to America that they have made a grave error AGAIN!!

And then people like me will be lost to the Republican Party and will vote John McCain. We are the Moderate to Conservative segment of the Democratic Party that will and can never support Obama, not because of his RACE but because of lack of TRUST IN HIM, his lack of EXPERIENCE and his lack of GOOD JUDGMENT.

If Colin Powell was the nominee of either party then I would vote for him because I and many of us see him as a President and Commander in Chief. I cannot vote for a person who has not demonstrated any real accomplishment in his professional life, period

Amy in Woodstock, NY   May 7th, 2008 11:48 am ET

Obama has been telling the truth since day one. And I feel confident standing behind his leadership. Because he is really representing all of us.

Hillary thank you, but it is time to bow out for the sake of this nation.

JohnS   May 7th, 2008 11:48 am ET

Thank Senator McGovern.

The America people have spoken very clearly yesterday and OBAMA is the Nominee of the Democratic Party.

We really need to stop this and unite around OBAMA to win the General Elections in November 2008

It is also a good time for Hillary to step out with dignity.

GOD Bless you and GOD Bless America

I could not agree more. For the sake of the democratic party and the country Clinton needs to come to grips with reality and drop out now!

Don't make that phone call, George. Trust me- you don't want to hear the shrill bitterness come out of the Clintons' mouths.

Just send a nice email.

I personally feel Hillary should stay until the end of the race

Fabienne   May 7th, 2008 11:49 am ET

Finally some wisdom comes out of all this! it was about time that someone close to the Clintons tell Hillary to step aside. And it's better she does it now. She should endorse Obama the earliest possible in order to unite the democratic party.

Marty   May 7th, 2008 11:49 am ET

These super delegates need to decide if they want a democrat or McCain in the white house. Clinton is the only one that has a chance to win the election. The black vote will NOT carry the general election.

Gail   May 7th, 2008 11:49 am ET

Who cares what he says? He is not even a super delegate? Then sit down and shut up.

Brian   May 7th, 2008 11:49 am ET

At this point it appears clear that Hillary is simply staying in the race to try to get back some of the money she has lost in "loans" to her campaign. After her last ditch gutter politics and pandering have not worked she just has to hang in long enough to make her money back.

Marie in California   May 7th, 2008 11:49 am ET

McGovern was a joke in 1972….and he still is. Obama is the 2008 version of "McGovern"…..and he'll suffer the same fate as George should he get the nomination.

Go Hillary! All the way to the White Hosue!

LT for Obama   May 7th, 2008 11:50 am ET

The best argument to support McGovern is to get the superdelegates to finally overwhelmingly support Barack Obama and end this travesty.

Greg   May 7th, 2008 11:50 am ET

It is fine for her to finish the race but she (and her team) need to stop the negative attacks.

They also need to refrain from trying to force a showdown with the DNC on Florida and Michigan. They know the score there.

Ross   May 7th, 2008 11:50 am ET

North Dakota senator? Silly me, I thought it was South Dakota, than again, what do I know, I only lived in South Dakota for 22 of my 25 years of life and only studied McGovern's life and career.

DemocratsUnited   May 7th, 2008 11:50 am ET

Clinton needs to understand that these people aren't traitors. These peopl aren't turning AGAINST her. they are acting in the best interest of the party. Look how quickly all of McCain's republican enemies rallied around him. They came together quick. It's time for the democrats to put this nastiness, ugliness and bitterness behind them. The quicker we get the nominee, the quicker we can focus on the many McCain gaffes.

Unshrub   May 7th, 2008 11:50 am ET

Even if they give Hillary FL and MI Obama will still ahve more popular vote and more delegates. She can not win.

AB   May 7th, 2008 11:50 am ET

By we should be calling her 'the ex-presidential candidate for the democratic party". And don't forget the only time hill tells the truth is when she is lying.

Wow.

FB   May 7th, 2008 11:51 am ET

I'm sure we'll be seeing more and more Hillary supporters doing the same. It's been a great "fight" but now it's time for her to be rational and fight for the democratic party.

1——she'll go till the last democrat is dead on this plant—–
2——she wants more $$$ from her supporters——

McGovern, like Kerry, didn't win the General. The same thing will happen to Obama if the supers don't wise up and give Hillary the nom.

Veterans for Obama   May 7th, 2008 11:51 am ET

**Attention Obama Supporters**

The nomination for Barack is all but secured. It is imperitive that we keep our dignity and not allow ourselves to be dragged to the gutter by those who see their candidate's campaign imploding. Lets reach out to the Clinton supporters and explain to them why WE are so enthusiastic about the man we hope to call President next year. On policy, they are almost identical. Race and gender are the only hurdles that our opponets will have to grapple with, but in the end, I'm confident America is better than that. It is to time unite.

Wow…..pack your bags honey!!

Grant   May 7th, 2008 11:52 am ET

It is, I am sure that CNN is working furiously to keep her in the race though….Word on the blogs, real news, is that Axelrod has chatted with Wolfson, I think they are going to give her the chance to bow out gracefully, if she stays in, by Thursday, they will release the hounds and roll out the Supers to end this, THEY HAVE THEM..John Edwards is expectedly shortly to follow the overwhelming will of NC and endorse Obama and bring his delegates over, which adds close to 20 more…..Sorry CNN this is OVER! Keep hauling out Lanny Davis, Carville and Begala though, last night was an embarrasment to your network and truly a low point…FIRE BLITZER!!!! He is not objective and his 2 hours of impossible scenarios are become laughable…

Please post

Samuel   May 7th, 2008 11:52 am ET

Yes, it is time no matter how hard it is. Sen. Hillary will do herself good and that of the democratic party if she goes now rather than later. I believed in her and I still do but the naked fact is that it appears to be over and she should acknowledge that. Please do not let people blame you for a lost for OBAMA in November. Just go in dignity and in respect.

I rest my case.

Laura   May 7th, 2008 11:52 am ET

I no longer consider my self a democrat. I will be changing my voter registration card to independent and will be voting for McCain. I can not vote or support a man who claims he has the experience and love to run this country when he can’t even manage to speak about or state what he really stands for. Hillary Clinton was the person for me and the strength of this country. I am ashamed to call my self a democrat after the disloyalty this party has shown her.

Greg   May 7th, 2008 11:52 am ET

Good job Hillary. Wake up superdelegates!

Democrat, NC   May 7th, 2008 11:52 am ET

Being an obama supporte, I welcome George McGovern's call, but on the other side, I think it will just motivate her to move on with her campaign. Looks like we need to give her some time and not push her to drop out.

I really wanted a woman in the White House, these men have made a total mess of things, but once I saw some of her actions, I changed my mind, we can't afford her. #1, I cannot afford her insurance, and don't tell me that it will be affordable, her insurance companies and drug companies will be writing the policies. Yes, Barack has not been in DC very long, but look at the mess we have with the people that have been there for years. We need a change, bad. I just pray he stays safe. Thank you Mr. McGovern, I voted for you.

Canadian Girl   May 7th, 2008 11:53 am ET

Senator McGovern is correct in urging Senator Clinton to abandon her presidential run, as there is no possible way for her to overtake Senator Obama. It is time for the Democratic party to come together and start working towards the general election.

Like the old saying goes, "You need to know when to hold them, know when to fold them."

It's time to fold them.

Hillary, you told us last night "when we start acting like Americans again". I for one, along with my fellow Americans, haven't stopped acting like an American. What about you Mrs. Clinton. When did you stop acting like an American? Was it when you called your fellow Democrat an elitist. Obama, an individual raised by a single parent, took student loans to pay for college, is half black, half white, etc. etc. etc.

4. She is poor in Math,,, the number don't add up.
5. The worst of all, she is selfish. I, I, I and the rest can go to hell.

As a Hillary supporter- I feel- Hillary should stay until the end if she has money. I will donate to her campaign. In fact I have just donated to her campaign.

However, my heart knows that Hillary has lost this nomination. I am realistic. I am now ready to listen to Obama to beat McCain in Fall..

I will probably never like Obama, however, I kind of know that he will probably adopt most of Hillary's policies than McCain

You have to know when its time to accept defeat, and bow out gracefully
for the good of your team, if its the team that you really care about.

Gil   May 7th, 2008 11:56 am ET

The writing is on the wall. Mrs. Clinton bow out gracefully. You have ZERO chance of winning unless you resort to cheating. You ran a hard fought race now it's time to throw in the gloves.

Jamaal Kansas   May 7th, 2008 11:56 am ET

Time to go Hillary give it up it is over there is no way she can win this is getting pathetic everyone should send a email to the DNC urging the supers to make a Choice!

Herman in LA   May 7th, 2008 11:56 am ET

What will it take for her to stop and drop out? Her own supporters who are close to her are leaving.

My goodness what is it, power, money, wanting to control the world, the fear of losing, divorcing Bill Clinton?

So much turmoil in the white house with Bill, lobbyists, and all the others that would have control over her administration.

Please Hillary leave so we can unite the party so that we can take on McCain.

its Over   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

wohoo!!! Welcome President Obama!

Buckeye   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

Interesting and astute, but I'm afraid Obama's candidacy is going to be a replay of McGovern's own debacle. Remeber what happened when the college kids and ultra-liberals supported him. I do because I was one of them.

Sean in NY   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

And so it begins…

carlo   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

Wow. That's rough.

Chris   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

McGovern is right. It's just time. I had hoped that Clinton would be more interested in the unity of the Democratic Party than in her own personal motives. The VP slot is still open. I suggest she work a deal to take that. Obama '08.

Terry   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

"Brilliant husband"

Get serious, he squandered possibly the best opportunity for the democrats to change this country because he didn't understand nor appreciate the tenacity of his enemies.

Sharon   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

McGovern is from South Dakota, thank you.

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

Good job Mc Govern this is a real man with back bone! To many other Superdelegates are spineless to support Obama when needed.

The Clintons intimidate and threaten Superdelegates if they endorse Obama, they will feel the Clinton raft if they do so. All the Democratic Party leaders are either scared of them or afraid of the dirt they will release on them. If you notice none of the so called power brokers will tell Hillary that she should exit. Including:

Howard Dean
Al Gore
James Carter
John Edwards
Nancy Pelosi
Harry Reed

They are all powerless and will do nothing to stop Bill and Hillary’s slash and burn politics. It has stopped Obama’s momentum he is being forced to fall in line with Clintons rule changes. No party leader has the guts or the courage to put an end to this thing. If all the renaming Superdelegates would stand up all at once and say enough is enough, then maybe just maybe we could win in November. However, courage is hard to find these days among the SO CALLED DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERS!

kia   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

Thank you Mr. McGovern. We need your support in the this fight to bring about changes to Washington. Welcome to this fast train.

tom   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

It is time Hillary - Move aside and try again in 2012 -
The GOP is loving this as the Politcial Donkeys continue to kick each other. Bow out - you gave it all you had - Now let your party unite

jyh1920   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

Whoa….You heard the man… Time to go…..

Lee   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

If McGovern had the balls Hillary has, maybe he would have been elected back in the day,

Mike in Columbus   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

I thought her speech last night was amazing!!

Its completely amazing to me that she could actually declare last night a victory.
"Full speed ahead to the White House."
Are you kidding me? There is no way I could vote for this woman… because she (and her campaign) are clearly insane.

She was beat by over 200k votes last night (including both states), crushed in N.C. and only took Indiana because of the cross-over republican "operation chaos" vote.

When will reality sink in?

Obama supporters are sad   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

Are any of you Obama supportes getting this?

Continue the silly and think Obama is going to win in November with fractions of the party. I was heart broken when Kerry lost last election after working so hard and I want to be in winning side this time and Obama with exactly half the party will not going to prevail. He needs Hillary as VP or it will be McCain… GO AHEAD TRY TO WIN THIS ONE WITHOUT FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN… GO AHEAD…

Kim, NM Democrat   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

Thank you, George! I hope other senior statesmen/women of the Democratic party speak up as well. Hillary gave it a go, but the handwriting is truly on the wall. Maybe if she behaves herself over the next few weeks, there could be a significant role for her int the next (Obama) adminstration, and she can start to repair the damage done to the Clinton legacy. It's all on her now to keep it positive and not split the party any further.

HillarySkank on myspace   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

Hillary's position: Build them up when they support her, discount them when they leave her and move to Barack.

Obama 08   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

A clear message to the super delegates.

Clinton supporteres we welcome you with open arms…lets kiss and make up and take the strong fight that you've displayed to McCain!

Kenneth Rios   May 7th, 2008 11:57 am ET

Keith R.   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

The beginning of a windfall…

Jeff   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

Amen-

For those of you claiming that African Americans are voting for Obama because of race. . . .remember, AA's have always voted for Democrats, and there is a 18% AA population in this country. That would not alone get Obama to the nomination.

Also, Lanny Davis, you should apoogize for your antics last night. You acted like a 5 year old. Grow up!!!

Mary   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

The whole truth about Barack Obama and his corrupt campaign have been hidden from the American voters far too long. Check out the Chicago newspapers. Now, even some of the reporters are getting threats for revealing the truth.
If Obama wins, America loses.

jerell   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

This is the possible beginning of a chain effect.

Quick question: How is he not a superdelegate?

sophia nyc   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

Time to bow out gracefully, Hillary.. before your ENTIRE political career is toast. We may not even re-elect you in NY at this point.

Kerri   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

Now is the time to bow out gracefully (if such a thing exists, for her). It's practically impossible for her to win. She needs to step aside for the good of the party and of the country. Hard to believe she'd be someone who would put the needs of the country above her own desires based on her conduct during this primary.

H. MacArthur   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

Sometimes it takes an elder, such as our fathers, and in Hillary's case
her role model, to tell her the truth.

Ignorant Hillary Supporter   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

Geez Obama, neither candidate can get to the finish line of 2208 delegates. Its time Obama dropped out for the good of the party.

LOL

Jewish Women for Obama   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

It's about time… Her only motivation for staying in would be to divide the party… If she does, she'll not even get re-elected into the senate, and every democrat will hate her forever…

Hillary, I still love you - please give it a rest!

An Agnostic Democrat   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

The Clintons will not only destroy the party and country, but they will abandon any shred of decency they have left to fulfill their scorched earth ambitions even if that requires the sacrifice of old friends and allies.

60 old white lady, Mo   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

For the good of the party… Hillary please listen to others… Just go away…. You have no chance to overtake Obama… don't be so selfish …

C from the D   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

Thank you Mr. McGovern. It is absolutely time to unite the party and thank you for being a leader and attempting to do so. If the tables were turned, I, being a young, educated, black, male (all demographics that obama wins in for those of you keeping score at home), would want Obama to drop out and throw his support behind Hill so we can beat McCain in the fall.

ABC=Anybody But Clinton   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

Thank you Senator McGovern. I hope she heeds the call.

Sam   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

She needs people to save her from herself….thank you McGovern

Steve   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

Keep it coming and she will get it it…
I hope she hears the to end it sooner than later…
Even if all the primaries that are coming go Hillary's way 60% incluing the supperdelegates Hillary will get 1977 total delegates compared to 2034 delegates for Obama.

Obama IS the Nominee   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

I hope we can harness some of that Clinton fighting spirit and point it towards the Republicans!!!!

Primary is ending soon   May 7th, 2008 11:58 am ET

G   May 7th, 2008 11:59 am ET

What does it say when all your loyal supporters leave you for someone else? They must think that Obama has what it takes to win or are at least trying to save the democratic party from possible defeat in 2008.

laura, CA   May 7th, 2008 11:59 am ET

Truthfully not much has changed as far as each Dems totals. They are still relatively neck & neck, but when the FL & MI debacle is settled they'll be reverse neck & neck.
NEITHER candidate has won the nomination and NEITHER can, it's just not possible mathematically.

People like McGovern are trying to become more relevant themselves rather than offering any sort of insight.

Stephen   May 7th, 2008 11:59 am ET

The writing is on the wall, Clinton.

Kevin   May 7th, 2008 11:59 am ET

Look at the divide between blacks and whites. Obama is not electable.

Daniel   May 7th, 2008 11:59 am ET

Hillary isn't going to let a little thing like Logic or Math get in her way. Within 24 hours, I bet Obama picks up at least 10 Supers from the undeclared pile, and perhaps 1 or 2 switching from the Hill-Bill camp.

terrance mullin   May 7th, 2008 11:59 am ET

McGovern was from South Dakota, kind of a basic mistake.

Tammy   May 7th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

Well I hope she listens to you. She hasn't listened to anyone else.
If she was truly wanting to help her party win the election she'd fall in and support Obama so that they could prepare for beating McCain. She obviously doesn't know when it's time to quit and start helping your fellow Democrat.
I wouldn't be surprised if she quits the Democratic party and tries to run as an Independent.
This just shows me once again that it's all about her and not about making sure a Democrat wins the election.

Steve   May 7th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

While it's important that votes be counted, and everyone get a chance to vote, it is over for Clinton. Unless Obama drops out, she cannot win without overwhelming landslides in all remaining contests. That is such a remote chance that even a compulsive gambler won't bet on it. Clinton's campaign is also pretty much out of money. Most candidates in her position would take the exit door at this point, and for good reason.

Everyone's votes WILL get counted (including Florida and Michigan) in the general election.

Independent99999   May 7th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

Great Call. That is what I expected her to do. Gracefully bowing out.

It is a SHAME on HILARY that she is still out there running

Blayze Kohime   May 7th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

Its time for Hilary Clinton to put the nation ahead of herself, though I realize that's hard for any politician to do.

Still, I think if positions were reversed, Obama would have bowed out gracefully by now.

Lisa   May 7th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

It's not time to quit until ALL voters have had a chance to participate in their primary or caucus. That would be a violation of American voters' rights. How can you justify that some states are more important than others just because their primaries were held earlier?
I am amazed at the stupidity and blatant nerve of these politicians to suggest this.

American isn't a democracy unless all voices are heard.

Carolyn Rose   May 7th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

It is time for her to go. She is depleting our energy. It most likely has not occurred to her that for how many people support her, there are just as many and more who do not. She seems to forget that we favor Senator Obama and places no value on our wishes. She is also making the democratic party look desperate with weak leadership. She is burning bridges. What little interest I had in her is long gone.

Lana   May 7th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

Ambrose   May 7th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

It's a wise decision. No need for Clinton to stay in the race except she has not finished cutting all Obama's tail so he can run faster with no more tail for any one to hold come November.

Super D   May 7th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

faboomama   May 7th, 2008 12:00 pm ET

I'm still floored by this. Clinton was supposed to campaign in SD with McGovern by her side. That'll be awkward.

Al   May 7th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

The Republicans are not talking about letting every vote be counted. They have McCain all ready to go. McGovern seems to be trying to unite the party for a hard fight with McCain. Brave man in my book.

peter   May 7th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

Hi everyone. I have to make it clear after everything we ve been through and all the unfair treatments Hillary has to encounter from Obama and the press, I frankly cannot bring myself to vote for him. Everyone from my family and I will only vote republican if Obama gets the nomination. Ok, he can use all the dirty tricks to get the normination; but I will see how he can win when half of the Hillary votes go republican. Furhtermore, if Obama loses, Hillary can try again in 4 years. I would rather that than to handle our country to a pretentious liar who has no experience and only knows sweet talking.

meg   May 7th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

This election year is not about letting the people decide. It is about letting the news media and elitists tell the people what to do. So much for every vote counts. Disgusting!!! I will never vote for Obama, and the DNC has just let McCain win. Unbelievable, Obama so substance, all slogans. This election process has been a SNL special.

kris   May 7th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

good job..we running out of time.

park more   May 7th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

He can decide for himself. After what happen in Indiana even with a lot of irrigularity of vote process (similar to Florida) Hillary did very well. We cannot let this happen and Obama is not the right one

CLS   May 7th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

McGover is from the Mount Rushmore state — South Dakota.

Indiana man   May 7th, 2008 12:01 pm ET

She wont drop out until she completely divides the democratic party so the rebuplicans can stay in the white house

its time for the superdelegates to back up what the american people has said by there support for obama.
hilary has done way to much damage already to the party

Time to unite, time to heal the party, time to defeat McCain.

GeCnn   May 7th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

Let her finish the line she wants. It is ironic that the party set the rule and right now they want to change it because they dislike the current situation. This is why we cannot trust any politician, since every single one of them is a typical flip-flop either explicitly or implicitly inside out.

Terry from VA   May 7th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

Yeah Baby! Turn out the lights that party is over.

Peter   May 7th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

Thanks, Senator McGovern, but there's no reason that Senator Clinton, the better qualified, more experienced candidate, should drop out prior to the convention.

deborah   May 7th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

And to think I voted for this guy in 1972. If Sen Clinton isn't at least on the ticket in November, I'm writing in Mickey Mouse and Scrooge McDuck, at least Mickey will make sure the line at the unemployment office keeps moving and Scrooge will do something about the deficit.

He should talk   May 7th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

How many states did McGovern win in the GE, the Superdelegates better think twice, about who can beat McCain in the GE we do not want another McGovern race.

Democrats unite   May 7th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

Once again McGovern mans up and does the right thing! Hope the Clintons will listen - we have to stop this bickering and unite the party against the real enemies, McCain & the Republicans.

Obama 08 & 12

Ginny E   May 7th, 2008 12:02 pm ET

Why is the total of the IN primary showing each candidate's % -
totals 100% in IN and only 98% in NC - someone needs to check their math - get with it. GO OBAMA!!!!

Hilary should not be allowed to buy a candidacy - the only reason she has won in the big states she keeps boasting about - is the big vote for her are Republicans taking that rat Rush Limbaugh's advice. Someone needs to take him off the air.
I do not think Republicans should be able to vote in a Democratic primary and vice versa.
Ginny

ABG   May 7th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

If Obama is the Democratic nominee, then Senator McGovern's endorsement will prove to be an omen of his own failed candidacy.

The voters went with emotion and "ideals". I was one of them. All it got us was a landslide loss in 1972.

Barach Obama cannot win without the votes of the Clinton supporters.

All eyes are on him and the DNC to do what is fair with Florida and Michigan!

Richard, St. Paul, MN   May 7th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

It's way PAST time for Clinton go go away….. I just wish the GOP would go away too. I'm going to be sick paying their $10 trillion deficit for the rest of my life.

Indiana man   May 7th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

enough is enough— get this lady out now

OBAMA 08   May 7th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

I totally agree. Senator Clinton is running on false hopes, and she needs to leave the race. Not only is she out of touch with reality, her supporters are obviously being mislead into believing that she has a chance. That might be the majority of the uneducated and over 65 years of age group that she based her campaign on, that seem to be following her sinking ship to the bottom of the ocean.

Obama 08

Derick from ATL   May 7th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

That's a wise man right there, interested in the well-being of the Democratic party, more so than self-ambition.
People keep talking about how Obama is unelectible, and how he is leading because of the black vote.
Indiana is over 90% white, and yet he lost by less than 2%. He won so many other states that were predominantly white. So, there it is. It is Barack all all the way. Well, spoken, Mr McGovern.

Clinton, quite and support Barack: that's the noblest thing to do

Tom   May 7th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

Where is Hillary's momentum?

remember her campaign fraud?   May 7th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

ouch.

Alfredo Sangil   May 7th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

He is the one who should go and not Hillary.

Obama again overspent and still loses.

Hillary won consecutively in Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvannia and Indiana while Hillary cut Obama's lead in North Carolina from 20% in February down to 14% only.

Good job Hillary. Wake up superdelegates!

GCG - Austin, TX   May 7th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

Okay, I'm a little disturbed by the last line, "McGovern told the AP he will call former President Clinton to inform him of his decision."

McGovern should be calling HILLARY, not BILL. SHE is the candidate, SHE is the one that was working hard to get her message out to the American people, SHE should be given the respect that is her due for him to call her directly and not proxy through her husband.

Regardless of who you support in this nomination process, this seems like a slap in the face and is inappropriate. I hope that the AP simply misquoted him.

TR   May 7th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

The first of many to jump from the sinking Clinton ship and land on the Obama life raft.

Hillary's really damaging what little of her reputation remains. Bow out now - for your sake and all of ours.

pat   May 7th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

this is a sad time in are history, when ninty one persent of the black population only vote for the black man, who says this isn t racies, all you superdelacates don t abandon her now she is the only one that can beat mccain in the fall obama has to much baggages in his past an present that we don t know about. you can bet the gop will blow him out of the water, an win this election.

Marlie   May 7th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

Terry Williams   May 7th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

It's the decent, American thing to do.

Jake, California   May 7th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

Brave for good Senator, I hope other patriotic Americans will see the light and follow suit. Hillary can't go any further because all the big states are done and she's behind in everthing…delegates, popular votes, national standing against McCain etc.

I have no idea what she's looking for at the moment.

T Brown   May 7th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

She will not go until she completely destroys Obama .

Erik   May 7th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

Let's see. . .

Her campaign is in debt. She's behind in delegate count, number of states won, and popular vote, and she's statistically unlikely to gain the total required number of delegates to secure the nomination. Meanwhile, John McSame sits back and watches the Democrats play "Gotcha" until we're all so sick of it we'll consider supporting an honorable has-been just to get some resolution.

Yes, she should withdraw. "Supreme Court Justice Clinton" is a decent consolation prize, right?

David J   May 7th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

Unfortunately, it's too late for her to bow out gracefully, and she's far too delusional to realize it's been over for quite some time now. People will continue to line up behind Obama, and she'll continue to loan herself money and waste all of our time. Sad.

Elizabeth   May 7th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

GET RID OF THE CLINTONS - NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DCL   May 7th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

Senator Clinton will leave the race only after retrieving the millions she is owed by her campaign. Where will the money come from? The funds will come out of the bank accounts of the remaining hardcore, blue-collar, Clinton supporters. These people need to save their money for the tax increases to come from Obama's presidency.

Phil Newton, Murphy OR   May 7th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

McGovern is right: it is time for Mrs. Clinton to bow out gracefully.

michael   May 7th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

as a clinton supporter, i am disappointed. but everyone has a right to how they wanna go, and so it should be no different here. respect his decision, but am disappointed by it.

Independent   May 7th, 2008 12:05 pm ET

Well, it isn't the fat lady, but it is close.

Time to give up the good fight - let's all give Clinton her due, though - she worked incredibly hard and ran a really good campaign. To all Clinton supporters - I'm sorry for how this must feel, because I know I would feel bad if Obama didn't win.

And now I think it is time that all democrats start treating one another a little better and focus on the most important thing - a democratic president in November!

right source   May 7th, 2008 12:05 pm ET

I agree with McGovern that she should give up the race now, and bow out with some dignity. Hiliary just hold onto you 6.4 million or give it to these families that are in desperate need of some insistence on these raging gas prices. Instead of that $28 we get in your so-called plan, they can get a lot more. What do you think about that Hiliary?
