Darkness had fallen by the time Jill, Beau, and Hunter Biden were ready to speak, and the backstage atmosphere was thick with Secret Service buzz in anticipation of Hillary Clinton's arrival.
Deputy sheriffs instructed spectators and photographers to move back. Their boss, Sheriff Lonny Pulkrabek, kept one eye on the situation while he chatted with Delaware Attorney General beau Biden.
After an introduction by retiring city council member Bob Elliott, Biden Time was heavy on family, as Beau Biden recounted the Biden narrative: his father's triumphant election to the Senate at age 29 followed weeks later by the death of his mother and sister, and severe injuries to himself and his brother, in a car accident. How his father had said "Delaware can get another Senator, but my boys only have one dad," as he prepared to quit the seat he had just won, and how the giants of the Senate persuaded him to give a it a try, and how Biden commuted four hours every day. Jill picked up the narrative, talking of how she and Joe dated with the boys in tow and rebuilt a family.
The point of all this family stuff: Joe Biden has been tested and is ready to be Commander in Chief. "John Kerry and Al Gore failed the Commander in Chief test, both unfairly," said Beau. "We can't have a candidate who fails the Commander in Chief test."
