Can't we find just 1 Matt Santos? |
|
I watched the West Wing reruns on Bravo and went over the recent Democratic candidates - the ones I could remember - Kerry , Gore, Clinton, uh, Dukakis, (I think there was someone in between there, but I can't remember) uh, Mondale. I am so tired of settling for safe or second or third choices. I am so tired of seeing candidates with heart wiped out by candidates with money. Can't we find and support just 1 Matt Santos?

1. but even Santos placed his career above his beliefs |
|
He refused to address the immigrant/driver's license law even though he strongly disagreed with it, because polling indicated 67% of the public approved the law.
But since TV can always create a happy ending, it all worked out in the end and Santos gets the Governers unspoken endorsement, the Gov vetoes the bill, Santos wins the primary, AND leads the Dem vote to repeal the Stem-cell vote.
I love the WW, but that was too much.
