Kerry and Beatty square off on social issues, foreign policy in second debate

BOSTON - U.S. Sen. John Kerry and his Republican challenger Jeff Beatty met for round two Monday in another feisty debate that ranged from social issues to the current financial crisis facing the country.

For the first time in the race, both candidates discussed social issues at length. With Monday's news of an 8-year-old's ccidental death while shooting an Uzi at a gun show in Westfield, both candidates were asked what they would do to make sure such an event never happened again.
