I find that debate expectations pose interesting metaphysical questions. For instance: If everyone expects Sarah Palin to do better than expected, and she does, did she still do better than expected? Even though everyone expected her to exceed expectations? In which case, isn't that doing as expected? In any case, my prediction for the night is that it ends in a tautology that favors Palin, but in the real world, Biden still does better by virtue of knowing things about American government and world events.
