John McCain's campaign slogan is "country first" but in his first major decision as republican nominee he choose Sarah Palin as his runningmate.While the pick of her may have added some excitement to his ticket I think it was clearly more in trying to help him in his personal ambition to be president then in picking the best person to be possible president if something happened to McCain.That he was not putting "country first" but himself first with the selection of her as his number 2.
