Former U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole may want to rethink her new diet.
At a lecture in Kansas Sunday, the former North Carolina senator said that she and her husband Bob would be starting the NutriSystem diet.
Until recently, at least, the diet planners have leaned Democratic, according to a search of data collected by the Center for Responsive Politics.
The company's top officers have donated $10,650 to Democratic candidates, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry as well as Pennsylvania Congressmen Joe Sestak and Patrick Murphy.
Between 2006 and 2008, former chief executive officer Mike Hagan, former vice president Bryan Janeczko and former chief financial officer James Brown gave between $250 and $2,300. Hagan also donated $1,000 to the International Franchise Association, an industry group.
Current CFO David Clark, meantime, gave $500 to the Republican National Committee.
No donations could be found for the other current executives.

Re: Did Dole pick Democratic diet plan?
Miller is not only a good American brand, but made in NC. Eden, NC from which hope springs eternal. Thank you for drinking a beer that employs North Carolinians.
As for Heinz, that's still a Republican company as her husband was, but I suggest Texas Pete from Winston Salem.
See? Getting along doesn't hurt one bit. Same mission, different paths.
