Dr. Pepper, Say it Ain't So!

While Robert Reich today endorsed Barack Obama, that can’t remove the sting of an old friend going over to the other side. According to the New York Times: Dr. Pepper is a Republican. I’m not sure if this means I should change my soda of choice, or if the good doctor simply needs a pep talk.

Sure, I understand the siren song of bourbon and stuffed crust pizza, which the Times also outed as card-carrying members of the GOP. They may seem sexier than white wine and Absolut and organic risotto. Yet can stretchy cheese and dark liquor offer the left-leaning quirkiness, the irony, that certain je ne sais quoi that is, after all, also your special appeal?

Dr. Pepper, come back to us!
