Expectations
Although I expect tonight's debate to be highly entertaining, we shouldn't expect that even the absolute destruction of one of the debaters by the other will have much effect on the campaign. The Quayle/Bentsen debate in 1988 was one of the most thorough drubbings in modern history ("I knew Jack Kennedy, I was a friend of Jack Kennedy, and you, Senator, are no Jack Kennedy"), and I'm sure we all remember eight years of prosperity under the Dukakis/Bentsen administration.

Yeah but I think the Vice Presidency is more under focus in this election - not just because of Palin's circus act but because of the amount of influence Cheney has had for the last 8 years.
