John McCain suddenly cancelled his appearance with David Letterman just before show taping on September 24, 2008. He personally told Letterman he had to rush back to Washington because the economy was "about to crater."
As reported in the NY Times, Letterman was not so pleased. “'When you call up at the last minute and cancel, that’s not the John McCain I know.' He repeated that 'something smells right now' and he suggested 'somebody must have put something in his Metamucil.'"
Letterman quickly substituted MSNBC's Countdown show host Keith Olbermann. In a surprise move during their discussion of the McCain situation, The Late Show cut away to a live shot of Katie Couric's set where the makeup attendant was prepping Sen. McCain for an interview on Couric's CBS News show.
Then came the famous Letterman snarkquery: “Hey, John, I’ve got a question: You need a lift to the airport?”
Quizzed by Letterman on whether he thought the cancellation was unavoidable, Mr. Olbermann replied: “He ditched you.”

Political analysts tagged Colorado as one of the big five swing states in the 2008 presidential election and a predictor of how the nation would vote. An Obama win in the state could denote a shift in the Electoral College count seismic enough to deny McCain the presidency.
Polls through September 11 showed the Illinois Senator up by 3 points. Besting Senator McCain's national trend, Mr. Obama was winning men 49 to 46. His appeal to upscale whites, Hispanics, Boulder liberals, and swing suburbanites was considered a threat to the one-time Republican state.
After revealing a 5 point lead in early August 2012, polls conducted September 11-17, 2012 showed Republican challenger Mitt Romney trailing President Barack Obama in Colorado by one point, 47 to 46.
The President gained ground on Mr. Romney on the issue of the economy.
