“Here’s a prediction. In a few years, Maria Luisa is going to be married to a Republican...”
who goes by the handle “Steely Tom” on Free Republic? :)
Most likely, if she’s a true Democrat, she’ll marry some other “enlightened” Democrat spineless male and wonder why he’s not a man.

No way. I'm already married, and my wife is even cuter than Maria.
But Maria's cute enough. She's comfortably over the line, in my opinion.
Here's why I make my prediction:
First, she's not a "true Democrat," as you put it. We know that for sure, because she wasn't willing to sublimnate her sense of honesty for an ideology. By going to the press and telling what happened, she demonstrated that she has a sense of honor and fair play. She made it out of her teens with this; chances are very slim she'll ever give it up now.
Second, I know something about Republican men. They're more persuasive than Democrat girly men.
Third, I know something about women. Women as pretty as Maria know it. They know how to bargain with it, and they know how to hold out for a good deal. Republican men are a better deal. And yes, I mean money wise.
And when it comes to making money to support a nice family lifestyle for Maria, which party do you think the winner's going to belong to?
