Kerry wins 2nd debate and keeps on movin'

"Two and 0, and we're moving onto the third and I look forward to it," Kerry said. Opinion polls showed the Democrat won the first matchup easily but most surveys gave him only a slight edge in the second or deemed it a virtual tie.

The Tempe debate will be devoted to domestic issues and Kerry previewed the tack he will take, accusing Bush of making the wrong choices for the U.S. economy as well as on the war in Iraq.

"It's not just in Iraq, it's right here at home, where every day the middle class is struggling to get ahead," he said. " Four more years of the wrong choices or four years of beginning to move America in the direction that creates jobs, creates health care, puts America's respect back where it ought to be."

Kerry portrayed Bush as stubborn and out of touch with reality.

"For me, the most stunning moment of the whole evening was when George Bush (news - web sites) was asked to name three mistakes ... and the president couldn't even name one mistake," Kerry said. "He sort of glossed it over by saying 'I made some mistakes in the appointments that I made but I don't want to tell anybody who they are -- it might embarrass them."'

"Well, now every member of the Cabinet ... is standing around wondering was it that Cabinet member that disappeared or this Cabinet member that didn't tell the truth. I just want him to know I agree with him about those bad appointments.
