There is a power political couple, the woman is Rep strategist, the man is a Dem strategist. Good god, I have no idea how they make their marriage work, cuz within politics, they are quite the opposite. So, maybe they just agree on everything else.

I believe you're referring to James Carville and Mary Matalin? From Wikipedia:

> Both Matalin and Carville have gone on record saying that they do not talk politics at home.[28] The best example of contention between the two, aside from appearances on talk shows, is the 1993 movie The War Room. In the 1992 political campaign, Matalin and Carville were staffing opposing campaigns. Matalin wrote the best-selling book All's Fair: Love, War and Running for President with Carville and co-author Peter Knobler.[0]

That indeed is the duo I had in mind, could not recall their names. But yeah, that has to be the only way to make it work, keep the differences at work.

But even in a social sitch, and your SO is making a point you completely disagree with... A normal couple sure, nothing on the table reputation wise, so no biggie, but these two, both are quite stubborn about their respective positions.

Props to them though.

There are certainly real political divisions in our country, but at the level of the actual parties it's Pepsi vs Coke.
