Why Sept 15 2008?
September 15, 2008
McCain spoke and campaigned in Florida and said the “fundamentals of the economy are strong, when the financial crisis peaked”.

He lost the election that day and probably after the second debate when he had no message because the GOP was tied to Bush II’s economy and foreign policy.
He meant September 11, 2008, the date of the very suspicious financial meltdown (was it Soros? or Mitt who pulled the trigger on the stock market that day?)
This odd and oddly dated financial meltdown caused Palin and McCain to scramble, because they were running on a campaign about how “the surge was working”.
