McCain made an oopsy...

It's election season and both candidates are looked at under a microscope. It's definately not the time to do this...

From IMDb:

Senator John McCain's campaign found itself having to weather a blizzard of controversy Wednesday after the Republican candidate, without consulting the Presidential Debate Commission (Pdc), proposed that Friday's TV debate be postponed. The proposal was quickly rejected by his opponent, Democrat Barack Obama ("[Presidents] need to deal with more than one thing at once," he said) and the commission itself. In a statement issued early today (Thursday), the Pdc said that it is moving forward with plans to hold the debate at the University of Mississippi in Oxford on Friday, whether or not McCain shows up. "The plans for this forum have been underway for more than a year and a half," it said. McCain had announced that he had decided to halt his campaign temporarily due to the economic crisis. But it was not clear what he intended to do in the meantime. Earlier in the day, he phoned David Letterman to cancel his appearance on Letterman's show Wednesday night, saying that he was rushing back to Washington. But during the broadcast a staff member in the control booth spotted McCain on a monitor with a makeup artist as he waited for an interview with Katie Couric in a studio only five blocks away. Letterman immediately put the video on the air. "He doesn't seem to be racing to the airport, does he?" the outraged Letterman, who previously had conducted affable interviews with McCain, shouted at the monitor. "Hey John, I got a question! You need a ride to the airport?" He then added, "This stinks!"
