McCain and Hils will plan another tilt if Obama wins, like Vinnick decided to do so before being poached.

Sadly there will be no duff duff car scene (first season with Moira Kelly as Mandy Hampton) getting arrested in her convertable over the kerb right angles, while sledging her spineless congressman employer on her cell phone for failing to take on Josh’s man Jed. Her immortal line to the effect of: “I have to go I’m being arrested” without pausing or batting an eye as the cuffs come out.

Obama or McCain may yet institute Big Block of Cheese day - because it just makes sense.

A very pleasant fantasy... I loved the list, but I would point out that Vinick was made Secretary of State, not defence. But I would expect Obama to follow the sentiment and appoint a senior Republican to an important cabinet position, trying to further prove he can govern all Americans from the centre in a bipartisan manner...<br /><br />Cheers!<br />Craig. Hi Loki,

The West Wing. A very pleasant fantasy… I loved the list, but I would point out that Vinick was made Secretary of State, not defence. But I would expect Obama to follow the sentiment and appoint a senior Republican to an important cabinet position, trying to further prove he can govern all Americans from the centre in a bipartisan manner…

Cheers!
Craig.
