Leo: "No dramatic surprise VP announcements!" One episode later: dramatic, surprise announcement of Leo as VP candidate.

At that point it wasn’t really a “surprise” per se. Not in the vein of the “Draft Baker” attempt.

In the show, the convention was held in San Diego, which would make it the Valley View Casino Center, known as the iPayOne Center in 2006. However, the scenes were filmed in the HP Pavilion in San Jose.

There's a reason for that. The housing bubble popped in 2008, right before the West Wing-verse's midterms. The President before Bartlet likely repealed Glass-Steagall, so with it popping at almost exactly the halfway point in his presidency, it's unlikley Santos wins a second term.

This is a very late answer, but budget was a huge issue. West Wing was a very expensive show so they couldn't afford crowds big enough to fill the hockey stadium there. They resorted to a lot of tricks like closeup and shakey cam to make it seem like the place was filled.

But isn't it worrying that this law doesn't cover all 50 states? I mean what kind of democracy is it when 48% of electors don't risk punishment if they don't chose the candidate the public voted for? If they felt like it the electorate could elect a President who has not won the vote.

A simpler solution would be to have a candidate's campaign, rather than the state party leaders, choose the electors. Less chance of them being faithless.
@larrysmith26383 жыл бұрын
Actually, most states have some kind of mechanism for dealing with faithless electors. And once you're a faithless elector, you're done in politics. That is usually enough to keep people in line. That said, I do think it's time to get rid of the Electoral College. And please don't bother offering another point of view. I won't read it or respond to it.
