Terribly sad.  I don't necessarily agree with him politically, but he stood by his convictions.  Hopefully he recovers.

Apparently he's been in hospice care since August.

While I maintain someone who holds Richard Nixon in high regard, McGovern was a great man, in every sense of the word.  He will be missed.

I was surprised to discover that McGovern held a doctorate in history - the only other major party candidate to have one was Wilson; ironically, McGovern's adviser was the editor of Wilson's papers.
