We need to set expectations for the VP debate so the MSM can prepare the public

We already know what she is going to do. She is going to follow the Charlie Gibson format where she memorizes one or two sentences in response to certain words.

This was also a great hit for McCain with the Saddleback Church thing.

So she will give really good answers because she is PREPROGRAMMED. The audience needs to know that unless she can show a modicum of understanding what she is talking about, that there is not much there.

If we can get the talking heads to add this to their pre and after-debate commentary it will be hugely illuminating for the public.

1. We could take a page out of the pundits' playbook and

expect a couple of gaffes from Biden.

I don't think it'll happen, but we can lower expectations that way.
