McCain has made many mistakes this campaign season, but there’s one 24 hour period that stands out in my mind.  Funnily enough it all begins with David Letterman.  Had it not been for Letterman showing the shot of McCain not flying back to Washington immediately the tactic of “suspending” his campaign might have worked.  This stunt – which came across more like a lie – began McCain’s downward spiral.  

I actually understand what set McCain on this course.  After having admitted the economy wasn’t his strong suit and stating the fundamentals of our economy are strong he desperately needed to do something to prove he understood the crisis facing our country.  I confess to holding my breath, my nerves shot, as I wondered what he would do to save the economy and subsequently create momentum for his campaign.  Unfortunately, for McCain, I wasn’t the only one watching with bated breath.
