It's close, but Santos beats Vinick
My favorite moments from last night's episode of The West Wing:
- Donna and Josh, stricken, riding the elevator up to find God-knows-what about Leo's condition and having to listen to the Muzak version of Ma Cherie Amour. Time really does stand still at moments like this.
- Lou arguing that they cannot release a statement about Leo's collapse because undecided voters on the West Coast will use this as an excuse to vote against Santos. "And another reason you can't release a statement," she says, "is that when Leo comes back, he'll kick your ass!" And you know he would, too.
- The networks call California for Vinick and Oregon for Santos; it all comes down to Nevada. Santos: "Nevada? I have a vague memory of campaigning there once." Josh: "Yeah...Maybe we should have moved you there a year ago. You know, gotten you a gig a Caesar's Palace."
- Josh, alone in the war room while Santos makes his victory speech, coloring Nevada blue and bringing the electoral vote total to 272. He turns to a snapshot of Leo on the bulletin board and says, "Thanks, boss."
P.S. Where was Toby??
