The Expectations Game

The lone debate between Biden and Palin is perhaps more eagerly awaited than any of the McCain-Obama debates. Expectations are that Palin will receive a thorough drubbing at the hands of Biden, especially after the disastrous interview with Katie Couric. The dramatically lowered expectations pose a real threat for Obama and Biden. Given such low expectations, simply showing up might make Palin look like a winner. Okay, I'm exaggerating but you get the point. What do you think? Any predictions?
