McCain Tries to Make Peace With Letterman
Due to the economic crisis, John McCain was forced to cancel his appearance on David Letterman on Sept. 24, 2008. His plane was then grounded in Philadelphia due to weather on his way to the show the second time. McCain had already been getting flack from Letterman since he missed his last appearance and didn't want his name repeatedly tarnished more than it already has been on the Late Show. McCain prededed to rent a helicopter to be able to make it to the show where he was fired with tough questions by Letterman. On average, Letterman reaches 4 million viewers and clips are now on the internet of the encounter. Although Letterman did not make it easy on him, McCain was able to attack some serious issues a little more light heartedly and said he hadn't had this much fun since his last interrogation.
(McCain with one show has now made a better impression on a younger demographic which was a smart campaign move)
