Washington (CNN)Joe Biden stumbled into a potential campaign-defining moment Thursday that pitched his effort to win the Democratic nomination onto suddenly shaky ground.

Reeling from an attack by a much younger rival, Kamala Harris, the 76-year-old delivered an unfortunate soundbite at the Democratic debate that threatens to symbolize his biggest political liability.
"My time is up," he said, meaning to cut short one of his own answers but instead drawing attention to a question that haunts his campaign: Has his generation's time come and gone?
Harris' assault was breathtaking, appeared planned ahead of time and exposed a willingness to attack she had not previously shown in a campaign that started strong but has slumbered ever since.

Saw a sign yesterday..

PUBLIC PARK

No Loitering

Isn't that sort of what people do in a park? Doesn't that give the police carte blanche to arrest some without any real crime being committed? I understand that they don't want people hanging out to solicit jobs or dealing drugs but isn't this kind of a blanket sign to allow police to arrest anyone they want?
