I can see someone avidly political marrying someone who is not interested in politics. But I cannot understand this. I could not live with someone whose worldview was diametrically opposed to mine.

1. Me too.

Besides, Eric Cantor is such a complete jerk.

2. I never would have guessed his wife was a Democrat. I am not convinced she is a liberal.

People tend to add "liberal" to Democratic automatically. Being pro-choice does not make her liberal. It only makes her opposed to a theocracy. She's a banker. I'm not saying no banker is liberal. I am just saying that "liberal" is thrown around way too loosely these days. If you're left of Ryan, you're supposedly liberal anymore. It's bs.
