I was stunned this week to see that the McCain camp has adopted the slogan “Country First” as the organizing principle for its campaign. In what way has McCain put “country first” by nominating a staggeringly unqualified V.P. candidate? Palin’s only credential for being on the Republican ticket appears to be that she is a hard-core evangelical Christian who McCain obviously hopes will energize the same single-issue Bible-thumpers who voted in large numbers for George W. That’s not putting the country first, that’s McCain putting his campaign first.
