How bout a sequel to West Wing?
A strong wife of a two term dem president seeking public office?!? The idea just came to me?!? Whodathunkit? Then she runs for President?!? Her husband goes around the country fund raising for medical research. And of course, the gop hates her.

Abbey for President!

2. Never
Anyone who's ever watched the show, especially the Sorkin years, knows that Abbey HATES politics, and can't wait for Jed's term to be over.

4. I've watched the show from day one

and I believe Abbey hates not being in charge. She's a loving wife and wants her husband out of office for his health's sake. Maybe Jed could die and she could be the grieving widow swept back into the oval office (occupied by the ghost of Jed.) Work with me here!!

Caveat: from day one except for this last season which I believe has been a disaster.

5. Absolutely. She hated Leo for getting Bartlett to run for a second term.

Watch the re-runs on BRAVO and you'll have a greater idea about her character. Abby for President is a nice idea... but then again, ABC is already doing that show.

If you want to have a Sequel to the West Wing... how bout a show that focuses on Sam Seabourne's character and his bid for a Congress seat in his uber Republican Orange County district. Then... once elected, we can follow his battles with lobbiests, corruption, and partisan politics that each congressman must face. That would be an interesting show.

6. I'd love to see them bring up election fraud at the ending
Now that would be a helluva show.
