When the Democratic Spinmeister James Carville was coupled on television with Republican Strategist Mary Matalin, it often seemed like the opening salvo of The War of The Worlds, two bitterly opposed foes from different universes lobbing shells at each other. But off the air, they somehow made it as a couple and remained married. These days the delicate dance of relationships, romance and love often is dashed on the shoals of America's bitter partisan divide. As a result, experts say, there is less tolerance for crossing political lines than for interracial and interfaith unions. On this edition, Common Ground will feature what often seems politically and personally impossible - supposedly incompatible couples like iconic conservative attorney Ted Olson and his liberal Democrat wife Lady Booth and TV commentators Jon Avlon and his wife Margaret Hoover, a scion of Republican royalty - to explore how they've found common ground and a happy ending on the home front.
