Thanks everybody!

I often get hung up on lanuguage and can't help deconstructing words and looking for double meanings.

I'm reminded of the Toby Keith song This Is My Town. On the surface it's just a tribute to his town, but then, who's town isn't it?

Perhaps I overanalyze.

Regarding the "Country First" slogan, today on ABC prime time news, they imagined four "main goals" that McCain was trying to express during the convention. The first was literally "Country Vs. Ambition" so I think this is the root of the slogan.

Based on ABC's elaboration, the meme is that Obama is not in this for the country but for his career. I believe Palin even alluded to this directly in her speech last night. It seems like a weak argument tp me but there you go.

How strange that ambition isn't considered an admirable trait in a leader.
