Put on a blue dress and practice the cigar dance, Hillary - even
McGovern has tossed the towel.

Democrats quietly send word to Clinton it's over
May 7, 4:48 PM (ET) - By DAVID ESPO
WA****NGTON (AP) - Apart from George McGovern, a plainspoken man who
knows something about losing elections, not a single Democrat of
national stature publicly urged Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday to
end her campaign for the White House.
They didn't have to.
There was no shortage of other ways to signal, suggest, insinuate or
instigate the same thing. And certainly no need to apply unseemly
pressure to a historic political figure, a woman who has run a
grueling race, won millions of votes and drawn uncounted numbers of
new Democratic voters to the polls.
Instead, many Democrats instead preferred to say softly what the
party's 1972 presidential nominee said for all to hear. Barack Obama
has won the nomination "by any practical test," McGovern said.
