Early on in September, when John McCain suspended his campaign and said the economy was in trouble, he made many gaffes. One of them was his cancelling of his scheduled appearance on David Letterman's Late Night Show. He called David Letterman and said that he was leaving for New York and was headed for Washington DC. It turned out that he actually did not go to Washington until the next day and during the Letterman show he was in a studio next door giving an interview to Katie Couric. David Letterman was rightly upset.
Finally on the 16th of October McCain did show up on David Letterman's show. When Letterman asked him for not showing up last time, he had no answer but to say that he screwed up.
I think he screwed up the whole thing. He did not achieve anything in Washington DC and by politicising the bailout package he became a hindrance. Then there was the first debate between him and Barack Obama coming up and he said he was too busy solving problems in Washington DC and that he may not attend the debate. Then he showed up anyway. Is his whole campaign not a big screw up? About time for John to admit that too.
