Yeah, I liked West Wing too
Of course, the whole thing was a live version of the West Wing. But what I found interesting was how little they chose to caricature the Republican's views, at least in the part I saw. He wasn't a “compassionate conservative.” And he wasn't a heartless monster. He was about as Jeffersonian as you could imagine. Whoever gets the Republican nomination the next time around ought to hire whoever wrote Alda's lines. It would be even nicer to have a candidate to choose from who actually believed those lines as well.
The funny thing about West Wing is that both the liberals and conservatives on the show are actually reasonable, unlike in real life...
In fact, the liberals on the show often sound like conservatives...“Yeah, it would be nice to do that, but it would be too expensive, and it wouldn't work...”
