Although this comes from a pop culture site, it's an interesting collision of politics and popular television. Ann Romney says Modern Family is her favorite TV show, and a heated debate follows in the comments section. Several people have commented saying that although the show depicts a gay couple, even those opposed to marriage equality can enjoy it. How much do politics play into our appreciation of a seemingly light-hearted comedy? According to ET,"the creator of the hit ABC comedy took to Twitter to mock the presidential candidate's wife by inviting her to appear on the show to officiate a wedding between two gay characters."http://www.etonline.com/news/124579_Modern_Family_Creator_Mocks_Ann_Romney/
