The West Wing

[JHyde]

I'm with Silktie on this one - I think it was wrong. Wrong not to tell his staff and wrong not to tell the people he was asking to vote for him.

And he knows it; it is why he accepts the censure in S3. That's some really good writing, one of the reasons that season 3 is the best overall, in my opinion.

Would I have still voted for him? Without a doubt. But I think his staff and his voters had the right to feel betrayed.

I'm planning to duck into a bookshop sometime this weekend and read Rob Lowe's autobiography chapters dealing with WW. Also planning to come back here and talk about them.

Nitrus, I'm so glad you've joined this thread. I love it when new people discover this show years after the fact. It's hard to believe this show was at its peak some 10 years ago when I was at and then finishing school.
