Candidates - especially those mired in the single digits - often compare themselves to David in the biblical battle against Goliath and the Philistines. The implication is usually that second- or third-tier candidates are more virtuous because they haven't sold out to become front-runners. Not surprisingly, the rhetorical appeal has a self-justifying tone that rarely works.

And haven't snack-food companies like Pepsico proved that you can have it both ways: indulgent treats and "healthy" snacks, each commanding fat profit margins? Pepsi's Frito Lay North America division had 24% operating margins last year, easily exceeding Danone's 14% ops margins on fresh dairy products...
