Recently an independent research firm ran a taste test between Coke and Pepsi and the

taste more people chose was the taste of Coca-Cola.

Yes more people fall across the country when comparing Coke to Pepsi chose the taste of Coke as the better taste.

Let's look at it this way. We gave America a choice, and more people said coke is it.

It's a it it's a coke.

Coke is it. Hello and welcome to the political orphanage, a home for plucky misfits and problem solvers.

Often, with great ideas, but terrible marketing.

I'm your host, Andrew Heaton.

Have you ever had a really good plan?

A solution that you know would work.

But you can't get anybody on board.

You're sitting there in the office.

A helic of proofs and schematics before you which confirm

the efficacy of your proposal.

But the office goes with Marty's PowerPoint presentation anyway because it had a graphic of an exploding

penguin I think that pretty much describes all of my political positions I

suspect that this is because, and I'm perhaps flattering myself here, I approach politics like an

engineer, whereas successful politicians are coming out of the sales pool.

execution, salesman think in terms of connection, emotion, feeling,

identity, projection, aspiration.

Now the political orphanage has people from all over the political landscape, hence the name.
