Ex-Clinton consultant cheers McGovern's 'guts'

Former South Darkota Senator George McGovern has reversed his endorsement of Senator Hillary Clinton and urged her to drop out of the race for president following her showing in Indiana and North Carolina.

McGovern says he now endorses Barack Obama. He was the Democratic nominee in 1972, when he lost to then-President Richard Nixon.

Democrat Sen. Barack Obama is inching closer to a double-digit lead over his Republican rival Sen. John McCain as the days left before the Nov. 4 election tick down, according to one daily tracking poll.

Obama has 51.6 percent of likely voters, compared to McCain’s 42 percent, according to the latest Reuters/CSPAN/Zogby daily tracking poll released early this morning.
