Hey Terry! Nothing like waiating 3 yrs for an answer, huh?
I don't think I ever considered it an idealized view of the Clinton White House. It is possibly an idealized view of a democratic white house... that is the party occupying (on the show).
I'm looking forward to the new season start... Nov 20, 2004 according to their website. This ought to be the last year for Bartlett, right? Will it go on with a new pres? Will it still be a democrat? Speculation anyone?

HMMMMMMMMMMM... I'd always thought that that show would just end with his term. Never occured to me that they may (try to) extend the show with a whole new cast.
It will be interesting to see.

Wow, that's pretty cool. They could really throw in some twists.

Especially since the creator A. Sorkin is reputed to be a democrat to the core... though I've read far worse descriptions.
I am a dem, but I pride myself on making my own decisions based on wht I see, hear, read. I hate all the mudslinging by both parties... it always has the smell of an adolescent pissin' contest by guys in suits. Enough of that...
I think it would be very interesting to keep it going. Does this V.P. win? He's turning out not to be the dummy he was assumed to be. Will something terrible happen, preventing elections to go on and forcing Bartlett to continue? Will a Rep get elected, thus M. Sheen will lose a good gig? Which actor would make a 'typical' Rep pres believable. I kinda liked John Goodman in the episode "25th Ammendment".
an aside: terry drop me a line. i have a few questions... the place seems really different. i are confused.

The 'community' you checked in to is experimental, not really operational yet till I get it running under more stable software. Otherwise, the hot conferences are screwed, geo and drool. But drool is member list only now. Otherwise, it hasn't changed that much. Stacey shows up from time to time and wer lurks.

How about Michael Douglas or Chris Cooper for Rep. pres? I agree, JG was awesome in 25th ammendment episode. He's got to get some help with his weight though. Or he may not be with us for 8 more years :o(
Which actor would make a "typical" Independant pres. believable?

Independant. Hmmmm... OK, he's/she's gotta be at least 35 (min. age for pres). Oprah Winfrey; Susan Sarandon; Tim Robbins; Jim Caviezal (the Passion guy); oh, how about pulling Gary Sinise off CSI NY and tossing him onto West Wing as Susan Serandons VP?

Michael Douglas would be great in the role, he did well as a power player in Wall Street. Morgan Freeman? He's the most experienced at playing President and is better than Dennis Haysbert (sp?).
Bill Clinton would be good, he's still young enough to get in to acting.

Bill in interview: "I'm not really the President. I just play one on TV"

Too funny!! I considered both Sinise and Freeman. Didn't mention cause GS has been recently added to CSINY and MF did play pres. in Deep Impact.
Susan Sarandon is a GREAT idea!!
Bill Clinton...*Snort!!*
