Obama = McGovern???

You know the Clinton campaign is desperate. First, they accuse Obama of plagiarism for lifting lines from speeches of other prominent figures in our history, i.e., FDR, JFK, etc. and Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts. Second, the Clinton campaign is complaining that Obama won't debate enough, as if 18 previous debates and two future ones aren't enough! Now, they are trying to paint Obama as George McGovern. You know, the former Senator from South Dakota who was the Dems presidential nominee in 1972 and lost every state but Massachusetts to Richard Nixon! Translation: the Clinton campaign is trying to portray Obama as this out of touch far left liberal who is too radical for the country. Hello! Has anyone on the Clinton campaign checked to see where Mrs. Clinton stands on the issues? Common Sense is quite amused by the Clinton campaign's attempt to paint Mrs. Clinton as a representative of mainstream America. Furthermore, Obama, unlike McGovern, is electable. He's won more states, more delegates, and more of the popular vote than Mrs. Clinton. And, he's narrowing the gap in Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. These are desperate times for the Clintons and their actions demonstrate this fact.

But many people in summer 1972 said the same things about McGovern, didn't they?
