Hillary's exit.
Hillary withdrew because the handwriting is on the wall.
Hillary is a historical figure in her own right.
A Savior of a Sinner in 1992, a destroyer of the democrat congress in 1994, the heroine of impeachment, a US Senator, and the first and serious female Presidential Candidate in 2008.
What to make of this record? Politics is a transient phenomenon so I do not expect her to make a strong showing in 4 years.
Like Ted Kennedy, she could carve out a place in the United States Senate, but I wonder if she is tired.
Bill Clinton was her biggest booster and her curse over the last 6 months.
Does Hillary want to change her life? I wonder if she would divorce Billy, resign from the Senate, write a book, and go on a long vacation.
Perhap's, General Douglass MacArthur said it best in his last speech at West Point, "Old Soldiers never die, they just fade away".
