On the other hand, dating (and perhaps eventually marrying a Donkey) gives you the opportunity to "show them the light" and puts another vote in the "R" column come November.

HA! I thought that too! I've always thought dating on the enemy side was more interesting and challenging. Been dating a Californian girl for 1/2 year now, and the wheels started falling off when her therapist convinced her that I wasn't 'nuanced' enough when it came to decisions. Yet, interestingly enough, since I'm from Texas, these open minded calis all know I'm a polluting, foolish Republican that prefers asphalt to wildflowers (yet they don't consider cattle natural) and that I must prefer cormorants to be soaked in spilled crude oil.

It's been interesting, but I don't think there are certain prejudices on either side that can be overcome.

It also works the other way! I watched someone I know go from rock-solid conservative to squishy, guilt-ridden RINO after marrying a knee-jerk lib.

Been there, done there.

LOL. Mr. Mew and I started out in a mixed marriage, but I have since come around to his way of thinking :)
