    It is over for Hillary

    Now that we know it is Biden lets all put our motors into idle and let the next few days pass quietly. Hillary should do the good soldier routine and then step into the shadows. Bill should thank everyone and recognize his days in the sun are over. For better or worse it is a new group in the Democratic limelight and as the poet said "young blood must have it's course lad and every dog his day". Hillary supporters should have the grace to accept the things they can not change and move on. With the naming of Biden there is closure and part of that must be for Bill and Hillary to shrink their profiles and join the ranks of enthusiastic supporters. Its over. Move on.
