When the erudite Democrat Josiah "Jed" Bartlet is elected U.S. president,
he installs his administration. He places confidants from his electoral
campaigns in the White House. Each of these 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
positions are the assistants of each of the power players. We follow these
people through many political battles, as well as some personal ones. Also
playing roles are the First Lady (Abigail Bartlet), the President's
daughters (Elizabeth, Eleanor, and Zoey), and the personal aide to the
President (Charlie Young). All make this series, which supposedly follows
the political events (often paraphrasing historical reality) almost day by
day, more than merely a political soap. The demands of office on each
character show the personal sacrifice and the forced compromise of ideals
and principles for tactical necessity and allows some insights into many
aspects of U.S. society and international politics.
