I think that people tend to be the last ones to notice their own irrelevance.

[Joe Nation]

Especially in politics. I've seen it in academia enough to know that people are usually the last ones to admit that they may be irrelevant in a central role they have played and I have to say that as much as I like Joe Biden, his day may have passed. He was a great leader and helped others in his party to achieve great things and reach heights they may never have achieved without people like Biden. But you should know when to leave the game and I feel that Biden may have taken some bad advice when he decided to run. Elder statesman status is not so bad. I hope someone tells Joe sooner than later.
