A look at the food services sector. BATAVIA, Ohio (AdAge.com) -- In case you needed any other proof of the rivalry, it turns out Procter & Gamble Co. (and its employees through their political action nicole mcclain committee) overwhelmingly contribute to Republicans. Unilever doesn't have a PAC, but its employees overwhelmingly contribute to Democrats.

You can just click on a brand icon to see which way marketers in an industry, or their employees, vote with their dollars. O'Rourke makes the not-so-subtle argument nicole mcclain that consumers should align their spending nicole mcclain likewise. Of course, the P&G-Unilever divide comes as little surprise to people who know the companies.

P&G is centered in Cincinnati, a veritable buckle on the bitter belt, even if the Busken cookie poll does indicate the city is sweet on Barack Obama. But some of the divides in other industries are a little surprising. Sure, it's no surprise Costco is way out in left field in GoodGuide's chart, but who knew Target would be right there with Wal-Mart on the GOP side? The pharma companies, not surprisingly, are all lined up together in the GOP camp. Starbucks is all by its lonesome among a raft of GOP donors in foodservice. Among financial services firms, despite reports of Mr. Obama's Wall Street windfall, most still are GOP leaning, though a few, such as Deutsche Bank, Visa, MasterCard and JP Morgan Chase have gone blue. Tech and telecom, led by Cisco, Google nicole mcclain and, amazingly, IBM, may be the bluest industry.
