A George McGovern endorsement of McCain would be hugh. McGovern as already come out against BHO’s idea of getting rid of the secret ballot in union elections.

George — an honest liberal who gained economic sense through experience. Unfortunately, it was late in life, after his political career was over.

Hmmm... “because George McGovern says it’s a bad idea.” Well, if it works...

"George McGovern laments that after his experience in the bed-and-breakfast business he realizes that laws and regulations pertaining to small business are actually hurting the lower-wage workers whom he had tried to help during his entire political career"

THEN HE NEEDS TO GET ON TV AND SAY SO AND APOLOGIZE TO ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE USA FOR ALL THE DAMAGE HE DID IN OFFICE

George McGovern is positively conservative compared to the Democrats of today.

this would make a great “priceless” commercial.
Running for President in 1972 $X million dollars
Regulations on every aspect of our lives $X billion dollars
Bed-n-breakfast in Vermont $X dollars
Bankrupsty attorney $1000 dollars

understanding that his policy positions caused more harm than good to many small businesses, including his own: priceless.

McGovern endorsed Obama in the primaries. You can forget about an endorsement of McCain. McGovern learned nothing from his business’ bankruptcy.

I have always liked George McGovern. He’s a liberal and always has been but he loves his country and fought VERY bravely in WW2.

I voted for George. I hated the Viet Nam war. I wish George would come out and endorse McCain. On another note I just sent another 50 Bucks to the campaign. Hope it’s not money wasted!
