We'll see how the debate shapes up, but I think she's going to outperform expectations (while still managing to say something hideously stupid).

I've heard this lowered expectations idea batted around a lot the past few days. I'm expecting both debaters on stage to demonstrate that they would be capable of leading the most powerful nation on earth. I just know that one of them is so deliciously going to disappoint me. I hope they ask her what she thinks about the bailout.
