Mixed Marriages

There's an AFF roundtable on cross-party dating in D.C. on October 12. I've already covered my views on the topic here. The attraction of opposites is for magnets, not people. Of course, it's less important to be in the same party and more important to be on the same wavelength; two relatively politically disengaged pro-choice moderates, one leaning Republican and one leaning Democrat, are more likely to make it work than two alleged Republicans who are on opposites sides of the big tent (do you think that the equivalent of a Susan Collins/Tom Coburn romance could blossom?).
