Eric begs that we be fair here, and I think it is only fair that I point
out that Hillary has a new supporter today -- George McGovern, who lost to Richard Nixon by a landslide in 1972. I doubt that McGovern is a superdelegate since he has not held elected office since for 27 years. But he plays to Hillary's demographics since he will be 86 this year. McGovern talks to people and has reached the conclusion that it will be harder for a woman than a black to win the presidency. (It is entirely possible that he cannot hear the people he is talking to -- being as to how new polls released today show that 70 or 71% of the voting public would accept a woman president or a black president.) And to be absolutely fair, I should add that McGovern seems to think Obama should be left alone about Reverend Wright. McGovern says he only agrees with 90% of what his pastor says, and praised Rev. Wright's church. |

I found the video of McGovern on Colbert, and now I feel bad. I don't understand why he is supporting Hillary -- I guess because he has known her for 35 years. He is not a superdelegate.

But I got the distinct feeling from the way he talked about his endorsement that he gave his word a long time before he knew much about Obama, and while he can't rescind his support for Hillary, he's very impressed with Obama. |
