Barlett.

Or, a show that would portray what really happens in politics instead of sugar-coated poison to democracy.

You beat me to it!!! Wish we had Bartlet as president, or someone like him!!

Bartlet is just a great and interesting character.

Supposodely Martin Sheen wasn't supposed to be in the show as much but he made such an impression that his part was expanded.

Plus a President with a serious health problem like MS is very interesting to begin with and that he's kept it secret keeps him human.

He was soft on turkeys though. Deal-breaker for me. ;-)

Martin Sheen should run for president. Then Charlie could handle Middle East Peace Negotiations.
