Why Are Republicans Falling For the Democrat's Expectation Game?

Republicans have been having a lot of fun with Gibbs's statement that the Dems would likely lose the House and Pelosi's reaction to it.

However is not the White House being smart here. I mean taking back the HOUSE by the GOP is still going to be hard? I mean that is the best case scenario and for that to happen everything has to go incredibly right!!

Seems to me the White House is so lowering expectations that anything short of that will be spun by the Dems as a VICTORY.
