Quotes:

President Josiah 'Jed' Bartlet: It's odd, really, watching yourself being replaced on national television. Planned obsolescence. Presidents and mid sized family sedans.
Claudia Jean 'C.J.' Cregg: Yes, sir. Would you have run again if you could sir?
President Josiah 'Jed' Bartlet: I think Mrs. Bartlet would have had something to say about that, don't you?
Claudia Jean 'C.J.' Cregg: Well the electorate can be very persuasive when they want something badly enough.
President Josiah 'Jed' Bartlet: In the service of two mistresses these last eight years has been my fate. Thank God for the 22nd Amendment, I'm spared that particular conversation with Abbey.

The Results Are In...

I can hardly believe it, Mathew Santos is the next President of these United States! I must congratulate both Senator Vinick and President-Elect Santos on their great campaigns. Campaigns and Elections are the basis of democracy as we know it, and both of these gentlemen have made sure that the voices of the citizens has been heard.

I can't believe that NBC has decided to cancel The West Wing. This show has educated people on how politics work, while at the same time presenting us with worthwhile entertainment. I would love to see what happens during the Santos Administration, but it would never be the same without John Spencer as Leo. Thanks NBC, and I can't wait until the final episode in a few weeks.
