p>Headline: KERRY NEEDS TO SHARPEN HIS ATTACKS, DEMOCRATS SAY br> Reporters: David M. Halbfinger and Jodi Wilgoren br> Message: Aimed at Kerry, the message is simple: ya gotta beat Bush's brains out or you will lose. Here's how. /p> p>Headline: CHENEY FUNCTIONS AS ICON AS WELL AS LIGHTNING ROD br> Reporter: Rick Lyman br> Message: Cheney is "perhaps the most controversial running mate since Dan Quayle." Meaning, once he was respected, now he's gone over to the Dark Side. He's so scary that, like Quayle, Cheney is "clearly a liability." The guy is downright scary. /p>
