By DENNIS GALE Associated Press Writer SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) Former Sen. George McGovern, an early supporter of Hillary CLinton, is urging her to drop out of the Democratic presidential race.

McGovern says he has decided to endorse Barack Obama.

After watching the returns from the North Carolina and Indiana primaries Tuesday night, McGovern says it's virtually impossible for Clinton to win the nomination.

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