McGovern, former Clinton backer, urges her to drop out

Former Sen. George McGovern, who backed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, is urging her to drop out of the race.

McGovern announced today he is switching to endorse Clinton’s rival Barack Obama.

After the results from the North Carolina and Indiana primaries Tuesday night, McGovern said it’s virtually impossible for Clinton to win the nomination.

McGovern said he is calling former President Bill Clinton to tell him of the decision and added that he remains close friends with the Clintons.

3 Obama campaign offices searched after bomb threat

In response to a bomb threat yesterday in Indiana, authorities evacuated and searched three Barack Obama campaign offices.

The threats were made in a call to a Terre Haute, Ind. television station. Lewis Robinson of the Secret Service’s Indianapolis office told the Associated Press the caller made threats against Obama offices in Terre Haute, Vincennes and Evansville.

The reports mirror the circumstances of Obama’s office in Vincennes being vandalized early Monday morning. In that incident, a male caller also reported the vandalism to a station in Terre Haute.
