The truth is,” Mr. Biden had boasted a year earlier in a speech on the Senate floor, “every major crime bill since 1976 that’s come out of this Congress, every minor crime bill, has had the name of the Democratic senator from the State of Delaware: Joe Biden.”

It’s hilarious that the only good things he ever did are the things that alienate him from his base.

From the article: "... an issue that recently dominated the political news and seems likely to resurface in Mr. Biden’s first debate on Thursday — has only added to his challenge."

Hmmm... today is Friday so from the article, it sounds like there is a debate next Thursday, 9/3. Except according to this, the first debate is Tuesday, September 29. Could the NYT have published a mistake? (Horrors!! :)
