Low expectations

NPR's summary of the vice presidential debate: nobody expects anything of Sarah Palin, and Joe Biden will be fine if he just curbs his tendency to be "long-winded and gaffe-prone." The format prevents the candidates from responding to each other directly, which will "help them to avoid making mistakes."*

So, as long as they don't run off at the mouth or sound too stupid, they'll both be fine. No big deal. After all, they're just running for vice president.

*(I think this is the quote, as far as I can remember a few hours after hearing it.)
