***McGOVERN ENDORSES OBAMA!***
This morning's LATimes, front page, above the fold:
"CLINTON NUDGED BY HER FRIENDS. Dianne Feinstine wants to talk. George McGovern switched to Obama. Others bluntly say it's over."

The article isn't up on the LATimes.com website. This has occurred before with the LATimes, where an article in the print edition is not available at their website.

However, the following is the picture of the front page, and the quote from McGovern follows:



...A more high-profile dfector was George S. McGovern, the 1972 Democratic presidential nominee, who endorsed Clinton last fall at a campaign stop in Iowa. McGovern said Clinton had "run a valiant campaign" but stood no real chance of winning the nomination. But even as the former South Dakota senator endorsed Obama, he stopped short of urging Clinton to quit..."


What can Clinton possibly think she will gain by wasting party resources on a failed run at the White House?
