As a pro-choice, agnostic-at-best Republican senator from California, he beat out an evangelical reverend from rural Virginia for the GOP nomination in the last season after winning NH and running the table on Super Tuesday. You know, in case you needed more evidence that the show, while entertaining, isn't very reflective at all of the modern American political landscape (and wasn't much at the time either).

To give the writers credit, the way he mumbles you'd think even he was ashamed of what he's saying.

Unfortunately that's just the way Toby talked. He had two mode, angry self-righteous rant, and condescending mumbling.

the "great scene" of the series, where bartlet curses out god in latin at the national cathedral and rattles off his accomplishments, is hilarious

he lists a scotus appointment among them, as if the almighty creator gives a poo poo about who's on the federal bench

gently caress that show, it sucked from day one and the sopranos should retroactively be given all the emmys the west wing won

i can't disagree; the west wing is, and always has been, a raging dumpster fire

The only question is why wouldn't someone want to vote for Alan Alda?

Honestly, I think the GOP would fawn over him because he's exactly the kind of rear end in a top hat daddy they love.
