Former Senator George McGovern Switches Support from Clinton to Obama : Indybay

Senator Hillary Clinton is vowing to press on with her presidential bid despite calls for her to drop out. The website Huffington Post has proclaimed that Clinton is out of math, money and momentum. Many political analysts say Tuesday’s primary results in North Carolina and Indiana make Senator Barack Obama the all-but-certain nominee. He now leads by about 150 delegates – with six contests to go.

On Wednesday Clinton’s campaign revealed she had lent herself $6.4 million over the past month. This is on top of a previous loan of $5 million. Meanwhile a prominent supporter of Clinton, former Senator George McGovern announced that he was dropping his support of Clinton to endorse Obama.

Senator McGovern joins us now on the phone from South Dakota. He won the Democratic presidential nomination in 1972 and ran against Richard Nixon.
