The West Wing Election

I know it's a fictional race, but it's my favorite show and so I have to comment on it. Unfortunately, this election storyline will also be the last season for The West Wing. I had 7 wonderful years enjoying this political drama, but alas, all good things must come to an end. Anyway, in terms of the election, it is now neck and neck between Democratic Congressman Matt Santos of Texas and Republican Senator Arnold Vinick of California. The latest episode made this dramatically clear as the nuclear power plant crisis in California dropped Vinick's poll numbers. There was a great scene at the end where the Santos and Vinick teams looked at the electoral map and changed many of the red states (Republican) to too close to call. Now its time for them to get it on!
