(ERIE, PA.) - Asked what he would do in his first 90 days in office, John McCain told employees of a locomotive manufacturing plant that he would explain his first priority as president. And he did. Four different ways.
1.) Humorously: “Call (former Pennsylvania governor) Tom Ridge to Washington from whatever vacation he’s taking... and get him to work.” Ridge appeared with McCain today and is rumored to be on McCain's list of possible running mates;
2.) Obligatory: “The president’s first obligation is to ensure the nation is safe and that means getting a national security team together, look at the challenges we are facing, if and you need any more affirmation that we live in a dangerous world my friends, look at the events that are transpiring in Georgia. To make sure this nation is safe, that’s the first priority of any president”;
3.) Fundamentally: “One fundamental mission: restore trust and confidence in government. Therefore, inspire confidence in America again”;
4.) Obviously: “Obviously, our first priority has got to be to restore our economy. As I said before, jobs and jobs and jobs and jobs, That to me is our greatest priority.”
As for the rest of his speech, it focused on new technology and its role in developing new and less expensive forms of energy. In regards to energy independence, he said that his choice of whether to pursue wind, solar, nuclear, coal, or natural gas would be “all of the above”.

How can we be sure if McCain will make it in 90 days? Notice there is hint of Tom Ridge as pick as Veep. That is disaster of course.

I don't think Teflon John will have that to worry about. Even senior Vets feel the old McCain is gone. He's just lost what made him different. He wants the job of President so bad he is showing he has made deals with the Devil. McCain looks like he's pushing himself even to smile now. He's hiding his mental records because he knows his health is bad and he might not make it to a 90 day office trial.
