people play a significant role in the Washington power game: the

chief of staff (Leo McGarry), his deputy (Josh Lyman),

Communications director (Toby Zeigler), deputy (Sam Seaborn, and

later, Will Bailey), and press secretary (CJ Cregg). Also in key

Lady (Abigail Bartlet), the president's daughters (Elizabeth,

Eleanor, and Zoey), and the personal aid to the president

(Charlie Young). All make this series, which supposedly follows

the political events (often paraphrasing historical reality)

almost day by day, more then a political soap. The demands of

office on each of them shows the personal sacrifice and the

forced compromise of ideals and principles for tactical

necessity, and allows some insights on many aspects of US society

and international politics....More Info.
