Kerry is really on the attack today
Holding nothing back.

ELYRIA, Ohio (Reuters) - Democratic challenger John Kerry on Saturday claimed victory over President Bush in their second debate, mocked his rival's "scowling faces" and scoffed at the Republican incumbent's leadership skills.

"Do we want leadership -- as it's called -- that can't face reality and admit mistakes, or do we want leadership that sees the truth and tells the truth to the American people?" Kerry asked thousands of cheering supporters on a sports field at Lorain Community College in Elyria.

Kerry said the United States needed "not a single-minded leader, but a clear-headed leader, not a headstrong leader, but a well-reasoned leader."

"The reason I thought he was making all those scowling faces was because he saw the latest job numbers and he feels like most Americans -- pretty upset about them," Kerry said.

1. They left something out

This "reporter" left out an important fact, which I have inserted in bold letters:

"Do we want leadership -- as it's called -- that can't face reality and admit mistakes, or do we want leadership that sees the truth and tells the truth to the American people?" Kerry asked thousands of cheering supporters on a sports field at Lorain Community College in Elyria, who had not been screened in advance for their unquestioning fealty as they are at Bush appearances.
