Congressman JOHN MICA's political consultant, JAMES INNOCENZI of SANDLER-INNOCENZI, Republican propagandists who work for the Royal Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
"I've never seen a firm like Sandler-Innocenzi," says JOHN MICA in a promo on its website. "They have the ability to project an image that's unparalled in American politics."
The firm's website states, "But we specialize in just one thing: WINNING."
That's apparently why they say they provide "SOPHISTICATED ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS" to euchre goobers into voting against their economic self-interest. Not in 2008, honey.
In an October 5, 2008 Orlando Sentinel article (unnoticed by its editorial writers endorsing MICA), it was reported of MICA's media manipulation consultant:
Despite a rough two weeks, GOP consultant Jim Innocenzi said the McCain campaign has time to steal Obama's momentum. Once Wall Street's problems stop dominating the news, he said, look for McCain and Palin to focus again on framing Obama as a risky, tax-raising Democrat.
"It's a microwave society," said Innocenzi, who has worked for Florida Republicans John Mica and Adam Putnam. "What happened yesterday is old news."
"It's a microwave society," indeed. These Repug consultant Beltway Bandits have contempt for America, contempt for human rights and contempt for human misery their clients cause.
"It's a microwave society." Harrumph, you dull Republicans. How crass. How vulgar. How inspid. What an insulting thing to say.
We were supposed to forget the financial meltdown, except two trillion of our pension fund assets have been stolen by desuetude (nonenforcement) of worker protection laws. Ever heard of ERISA? Gutted by Republicans.
For those who don't think you and other Seventh Congressional District voters are stupid, SANDLER-INNOCENZI may be picketed and telephoned at 705 Prince Street, Alexandria, VA 22314-3004 703-684-0633 Where to reach COngressman MICA is anyone's guess -- he's probably providing "meals to constituents" at a casino in Puerto Rico or a piano bar in Washington, D.C. See below.
Of course, our tawdry, tatterdemalion Congressman JOHN MICA has patronized voters long enough with his condescending, authoritarian, hierararchical excuse for a Congressional office. He's zero-rated by the Disabled American Veterans for three years in a row. Rated 6% by the League of Conservation Voters.

Sarah Palin's task: Regain lead for McCain in Florida
Jim Stratton | Orlando Sentinel
12:37 PM EDT, October 5, 2008
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin comes to Florida on Monday for what could be her ticket's most crucial presidential-campaign trip so far.
With Barack Obama leading in several recent state polls, and with John McCain pulling out of Michigan, Palin is being dispatched to raise money and shore up support among Republican loyalists during a two-day swing that will cover more than 800 miles and include four public rallies.
"This is really key," said David Johnson, a GOP consultant and former executive director of the state party. "She's got to energize the base."
The high-stakes trip comes with less than a month until Election Day at a time when McCain appears to be losing traction in battleground states, including Florida. Four polls released in the past week show Obama leading McCain here by 3 percentage points to 8 percentage points. A fifth poll Friday had McCain up 3 points.
Obama spokeswoman Adrianne Marsh said the tilt in Obama's direction comes, in part, because "families are still hurting" and see Obama as better prepared to deal with the state's economic troubles. Marsh said Democrats will use Palin's visit as a tool to recruit more unregistered voters.
"We're going to be telling voters exactly what's at stake," she said. Palin's tour, Marsh said, "does just as much to drive our supporters as theirs."
'Must-win' for McCain
GOP strategists have said McCain has virtually no chance of winning the presidency without Florida's 27 electoral votes. Obama could cobble together 270 electoral votes without taking Florida, but the campaign is eager to avoid that.
"It's absolutely a must-win for McCain," said Jamie Miller, a former regional political director for the Republican Party of Florida. "It's one of Obama's knockout states."
But the numbers and the news in the past two weeks have worked against the longtime Arizona senator.
As voters fretted about Wall Street and Congress debated a $700 billion bailout, Obama and running mate Joe Biden put distance between themselves and the McCain-Palin team. Palin's job this week is to reel in Obama and keep Florida -- which historically and demographically favors GOP presidential candidates -- in play.
Palin is scheduled at rallies Monday in Clearwater and Fort Myers. On Tuesday, she heads to Jacksonville and then cuts across the Panhandle for an event in Pensacola. Palin will also attend three fundraisers, including a $25,000-a-head dinner in Boca Raton. In all, the campaign hopes to raise $3 million.
With the exception of Clearwater -- which is in the swing area of Pinellas County -- the stops on Palin's tour are in Republican strongholds where she is likely to draw big crowds. Last month, officials estimate at least 25,000 people turned out for a Palin rally at The Villages, the sprawling retirement community in Lake, Sumter and Marion counties.
Since then, Palin has seen her favorability ratings sink after a series of awkward interviews that raised questions about her intellectual depth. But her performance in Thursday's debate with Biden was markedly better, reassuring many supporters that Palin was a solid candidate.
"She's going to have a great trip," Johnson said. "And she's going to get wall-to-wall coverage."
McCain needs some good press. Word that he was abandoning Michigan -- and its 17 electoral votes -- surprised GOP strategists. Though the state went Democratic in 2004 and 2000, McCain had made a strong run there, hoping to flip it this year.
The decision was criticized by some Republicans, including veteran GOP consultant Ed Rollins.
"We need to be competing in Michigan," Rollins said Thursday night.
Meanwhile, some Florida grass-roots Republicans are growing antsy about the campaign's efforts in Florida. Miller said he has spoken with party members who are concerned McCain hasn't built a big enough presence on the ground. He also worries that McCain was hurt by his decision late last month to suspend his campaign during discussions about Wall Street.
Since then, said Miller, there's been no splash in Florida to remind voters the game is back on.
"I think if you did a poll of likely Florida voters, and asked them, 'Is John McCain's campaign still suspended?' 8 [percent] to 12 percent would say yes," he said. "I think that's a huge hurdle they're overlooking."
Won't seek Bush's help
Another problem: McCain can't -- or doesn't want to -- send the sitting president and members of the Bush administration across Florida as high-powered surrogates. Typically, those officials are coveted stand-ins, used to raise money, bash an opponent and whip up excitement. But the president and vice president are so unpopular, it could hurt McCain to make wide use of them.
Despite a rough two weeks, GOP consultant Jim Innocenzi said the McCain campaign has time to steal Obama's momentum. Once Wall Street's problems stop dominating the news, he said, look for McCain and Palin to focus again on framing Obama as a risky, tax-raising Democrat.
"It's a microwave society," said Innocenzi, who has worked for Florida Republicans John Mica and Adam Putnam. "What happened yesterday is old news."

Here's more comical excerpts from the Sandler-Innocenzi website:
Former Montana Governor Judy Martz bragged of being a captive of special interests. (MORE)xxx
Sure sounds like Sandler-Innocenzi is skilled at turning sows' ears into silk purses.
Not in 2008, I reckon.
They're too chicken to do anything but cower to power. Our Founders wrote about factions in Federalist No. 10 and they did not like them -- sellouts like MICA and prostitutes like the SANDLER-INNOCENZI firm just don't get it. They're traitors to American values of liberty, equality and government transparency and honesty.
They're the tools of special interests like oligopolists in banking -- they're proud of it, as MICA is with the airports and airlines and trucking companies.
These overbearing Republicans are just about done -- stick a fork in 'em!
