@Chris has got to be trolling me at this point putting my #1 show of all time against my #2.

I would be up for Jimmy Smit’s character to return too.

 

[John McHenry]

I would be up for Jimmy Smit’s character to return too.

Well If you do it off of real time he'd be out and we'd be likely be 4 presidents after bartlet? Be interesting to see the douche speaker of the house guy as president do it from a republican angle. Especially since Sorkin is republic and did such a phenomenal job writing for democrats. I sadly don't think we'll ever get it.
