What's amazing in the day-after buzz on the debate is that Palin partisans pretty much agree that she did "well enough" against Biden. But well enough doesn't cut it in the vice president's chair, and Americans deserve better than "well enough" from a possible successor to the president.
If our children wake up one day, 20 or 30 years from now, to find their country a second-rate power compromised by the bullies of the world, they should look back on the days when the average American wanted a president (or vice president) who is "just like me." Been there, done that, back in 2000.
I'm sorry, but I want a president who is much better than me, much smarter than me and much more experienced than me. Sarah Palin, as a VP to John McCain -- with his age and health history -- doesn't give me that feeling.
