Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Sam compares his agreeing to run for congress to the Secretary of Agriculture saying that he would be "ready to assume the Presidency should the 18 who come before me die." Secretary of Agriculture is actually 9th in order of succession.

Quotes:

Josh Lyman: You didn't ticket split, you voted for every Republican in Wisconsin. I would check. You may have voted for McCarthy.
