*will* kerry recover?

[Bogart]

Of course Kerry can recover. The race is still way too close to call in far too many states. Will he?  That's tough to say. Obviously, the debates will be critical to any recovery he may have. As long as Bush avoids a major gaffe, Kerry will really have to focus on not looking like a slightly less stiff version of Al Gore. I don't expect the debates to be slam dunk for Kerry.
