Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
George McGovern, the 1972 Democratic presidential nominee, had been supporting Hillary Clinton -- now he thinks she should get out of the race.
  • So What?

    Why on earth is it news what George McGovern thinks? He's not exactly an expert on how Democrats should campaign for the presidency and win.

    Truth is, the experts are the Clintons. Bill Clinton is the only Democrat to win the presidency since LBJ except Carter, who got elected on a fluke, was a disaster and got defeated on reelection. The Clintons know how to take it to the Republicans and beat them.

    As went McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, and Kerry, so will go Obama? (Out of fairness I won't include Gore since he really won, although he should have won by a lot more and avoided that horrible outcome.)
