Democrats make their case as Kerry challenges Bush to debate

[NNN0LHI]

This is kind of a dupe and you may want to lock it mods? But this is the first story from the media I could find on this story that could be pretty important in days to come? Plus this has some extra info in it that the first post did not have. Figured it was alright to have a couple of these up when a few days ago we had "several" posts of the false smear story against Kerry posts at the same time? I think the LA Times may also have it up but I am not registered there. Thanks.

The two leading Democrats seeking to challenge Republican President George W Bush appealed to voters as frontrunner John Kerry challenged the president to debate their Vietnam war-era military service.

In separate appearances on ABC television's "Face the Nation," Kerry, a senator from Massachusetts, and North Carolina Senator John Edwards each sought to convince voters he would be the best Democrat to challenge Bush.

Kerry, who holds a wide lead in the race for the 2,162 delegates needed to secure the nomination at the party's national convention in Boston in July, has sought to focus the campaign on Bush.

Edwards is hoping to win enough delegates in the March 2 "Super Tuesday" primaries in 10 states to keep his underdog campaign alive until the convention.
