Pizza Promotion Backfires
When John McCain stopped campaigning in Michigan, a pizzeria owner made customers an offer: free pizza to people who brought in McCain signs. Diana Franzoni apologizes, saying she didn't know people would steal yard signs for free food. McCain is still campaigning in Florida. That includes Key West, scene of a giant costume parade. One of the hottest-selling masks is of Sarah Palin.
