I was at a McCain Palin rally today (pictures to come later), and they kept playing this song before he came out.  Does anybody know what it is, and if it's the official campaign song?

Here's the song: http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k222/Inks-LWC/?action=view&current=McCain.flv

If that's not Aaron Copland then I'll eat my hat (be it Republican or Democratic!). Not being a complete expert on his works though. I wouldn't like to hazard a guess.

The last bit of music I recgnise instantly though. It is sometimes used by the BBC for it's Grand National coverage and I think it might have been used at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Opening Ceremony.

I definitely recognize that first bit of music but I can't place it.  Its from a movie soundtrack IIRC and its used frequently in trailers for other movies as well but I'm not sure where it is originally from.
