Where have I heard this before:
Expectations were low for the _________, who had skipped the previous debates. One of his own aides said before the debate that expectations were so low, that all ________ had to do was string a few verbs and nouns together, toss out a statistic here and there and the whole evening would be considered a success.
The Democratic operatives for _________, who were milling around the lobby in dark suits were comparing _______ to the lost little boy on the milk carton who had been found and finally showed up for a debate.
Yawn.
