Here’s Scott McClellan setting expectations for the debate:

Senator Kerry has been preparing — preparing and practicing for this all his life, from the time he was in prep school to being a star debater for his Ivy League school, to being a prosecutor, to spending 20 years on the floor of the Senate debating the issues. And I expect the President will do fine but he’s up against a very formidable debater.

This is one of the few times the Bush campaign is okay with the President being classified as borderline retarded.
