CAMPAIGNUS INTERRUPTUS "John McCain is pulling out of Michigan, according to two Republicans, a stunning move a month away from Election Day that indicates the difficulty Republicans are having in finding blue states to put in play. McCain will go off TV in Michigan, stop dropping mail there and send most of his staff to more competitive states, including Wisconsin, Ohio and Florida."

Poor Cindy McCain. She's having a tough go at this political race, all thanks to the likes of Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar. At a Michigan fundraiser on Saturday night, Cindy complained to a room of fellow Republicans about her horrific experience on a daytime talk show:

In spite of what you see … in the newspapers, and on shows like The View — I don't know if any of you saw The View yesterday, they picked our bones clean — in spite of what you see, that's not what the American people are saying and what they are believing. They are now seeing a clear difference with these candidates, and they are seeing who is going to make the best president, and that's why we're pulling ahead.

It truly is a sad state of affairs when the man running for president has the toughest time answering questions from a group of catty women who talk over each other while discussing men and menopause. (You can watch the ladies "gang up" on Cindy and John here.)

In what it bills as the most generous film incentives program in the country, the Great Lake State is announcing today that it will begin offering a 40% rebate on production spending to filmmakers, as well as tax credits for companies that invest in new studios."
