what she wanted and got away with it. She lost the debate in the majorities view but she came off looking good because her expectations were very very low.

Came in right behind that nutjob Ron Paul, mostly by keeping his mouth shut while the other Klowns went Full Loon, and then when he did speak he would basically say "not as Krazy as those Klowns".

they're projecting false expectations in other to prop up their failed candidate, they are obviously aware of the
president's ability to debate and knows their candidate cannot match him, so you prop him up to fail.
