I recently watched the entire 7 year run of the West Wing - I missed this when it was on TV as I was going through university at the time.
The show is based on a democratic president and White House but from my readings of it it was popular with real white house staffers at the time.
In the series, they seemed to be fairly balanced with Republican representation and viewpoints in several key characters in season 2 (Ainsley Hayes) and season 7 (Arnold Vinnick).
My question to people who saw a significant portion or all of this series whether Republicans like the above are realistic. As a lefty Canadian darn I'd marry Ainsley - and would strongly consider voting for a politician regardless of party like Vinnick.
So where are these Republicans - do they exist or is it just wishful thinking liberalized saccharine versions of the party?
