What do you believe is the greatest misconception about you?

I assume Ms. Shriver you are a Democrat and your husband is a republican, how much influence do you have on his decisions. Say, on that ridiculous law he just signed to outlaw no more leaded bullets by a certain year for example.

I am certain you have been asked thousands of times, but how can a democrat and a republican live in peace? Do you just choose not to debate? Do you not ask and don't tell? Do you simply work together on things on which you agree and ignore the rest, or are you maybe democrat only by tradition? Maybe the governor is just liberal enough to keep the peace. Honestly, I respect it, but I just don't get it.
