In addition to these long-running narratives, each episode contains smaller storylines that usually begin and end within a single episode. Most episodes follow President Bartlet and his staff through particular legislative or political issues. Plots can range from behind-closed-doors negotiating with Congress to personal problems like post-traumatic stress disorder, from which Josh suffers during the second season. The typical episode loosely follows the President and his staff through their day, generally following several plots connected by some idea or theme. A large, fully connected set of the White House allowed the producers to create shots with very few cuts and long, continuous <a href="/wiki/Master_shot" title="Master shot">master shots</a> of staff members conversing as they walk through the hallways. These "<a href="/wiki/Walk_and_talk" title="Walk and talk">walk and talks</a>" became a trademark of the show. The final two seasons presented a narrative change, with the focus of the show divided between plots in the West Wing with President Bartlet and his remaining senior staffers and plots revolving around the rest of the main cast on the campaign trail for the <a href="#2006_presidential_election">2006 election</a>. <ul><li>In the first season, the Bartlet administration is in its second year and is still having trouble settling in and making progress on legislative issues.</li> <li>The second season covers the aftermath of a shooting at <a href="/wiki/Rosslyn,_Virginia" title="Rosslyn, Virginia">Rosslyn</a>, the 2000 midterm elections, and dealings with a new Congress and sees scandal when the White House is rocked by allegations of criminal conduct and the President must decide whether he will run for a second term.</li> <li>The third and fourth seasons take an in-depth look at the campaign trail and the specter of both foreign and domestic terrorism.</li> <li>In the fifth season, the President begins to encounter more issues on the foreign front, while at home he faces off with the newly elected <a href="/wiki/Speaker_of_the_United_States_House_of_Representatives" title="Speaker of the United States House of Representatives">Speaker of the House</a>, battles controversy over Supreme Court appointments and oversees a daring plan to save Social Security.</li> <li>The sixth season chronicles the quest to replace President Bartlet in the next election, following the primary campaigns of several candidates from both parties, while the President himself attempts to build his legacy but finds his ability to govern compromised by his illness.</li> <li>In the seventh season, the President must face a leak of confidential information about a secret <a href="/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Defense" title="United States Department of Defense">Department of Defense</a> program from inside the White House, while the Democratic and Republican candidates battle to succeed him in the general election.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development">Development</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_West_Wing&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Development">edit</a>]</div> The series was developed following the success of the 1995 theatrical film <a href="/wiki/The_American_President" title="The American President">The American President</a>, for which <a href="/wiki/Aaron_Sorkin" title="Aaron Sorkin">Aaron Sorkin</a> wrote the screenplay, and in which <a href="/wiki/Martin_Sheen" title="Martin Sheen">Martin Sheen</a> played the White House Chief of Staff. Unused plot elements from the film and a suggestion from <a href="/wiki/Akiva_Goldsman" title="Akiva Goldsman">Akiva Goldsman</a> inspired Sorkin to create The West Wing.<a href="#cite_note-34">[33]</a> Sorkin said that the airing of the show was delayed for about a year due to the <a href="/wiki/Clinton%E2%80%93Lewinsky_scandal" title="Clinton–Lewinsky scandal">Clinton–Lewinsky scandal</a>.<a href="#cite_note-35">[34]</a> Around the same time, a completely separate series called West Wing was under development for <a href="/wiki/Lifetime_(TV_channel)" title="Lifetime (TV channel)">Lifetime</a> about a White House press secretary with a college friend working as a TV news correspondent, with future The West Wing guest star <a href="/wiki/Annabeth_Gish" title="Annabeth Gish">Annabeth Gish</a> attached to star, but it was not picked up to series.<a href="#cite_note-36">[35]</a><a href="#cite_note-37">[36]</a><a href="#cite_note-38">[37]</a> According to the DVD commentary, Sorkin intended to center the show on Sam Seaborn and the other senior staff with the President in an unseen or a secondary role. However, Bartlet's screen time gradually increased, and his role expanded as the series progressed. Positive critical and public reaction to Sheen's performance raised his character's profile, decreasing Lowe's perceived significance. In addition, the storylines began to focus less on Sam and more on Josh Lyman, the Deputy Chief of Staff. This shift was one of the reasons for Lowe's eventual departure from the show in the fourth season.<a href="#cite_note-39">[38]</a> For the first four seasons, drawing on research materials, scene drafts, and occasionally entire draft scripts from his writing staff, Sorkin wrote almost every episode of the series, occasionally reusing plot elements, episode titles, character names, and actors from his previous work, <a href="/wiki/Sports_Night" title="Sports Night">Sports Night</a>, a sitcom on which he began to develop his signature dialogue style of rhythmic, snappy, and intellectual banter.

Sorkin's hectic writing schedule often led to cost overruns and schedule slips,<a href="#cite_note-40">[39]</a> and he opted to leave the show after the fourth season, following increasing personal problems, including an arrest for possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms.<a href="#cite_note-41">[40]</a> Thomas Schlamme also left the show after the fourth season. <a href="/wiki/John_Wells_(filmmaker)" title="John Wells (filmmaker)">John Wells</a>, the remaining executive producer, took the helm after their departure.<a href="#cite_note-42">[41]</a> The West Wing aired on Wednesdays at 9:00 pm ET from its debut until the end of its sixth season. NBC elected to move the series to Sundays at 8:00 pm for its seventh season, a move universally regarded as the beginning of the series' end (since NBC and the <a href="/wiki/National_Football_League" title="National Football League">NFL</a> had reached a deal for <a href="/wiki/NBC_Sunday_Night_Football" title="NBC Sunday Night Football">Sunday Night Football</a> to return to the network in the fall of 2006), and the series finale aired on May 14, 2006.

She concluded, "While the series' purpose is for-profit entertainment, The West Wing presents great <a href="/wiki/Pedagogical" class="mw-redirect" title="Pedagogical">pedagogical</a> potential."

However, she noted that the merits of a particular argument may be obscured by the viewer's opinion of the character. Beavers also noted that characters with opposing viewpoints were often set up to be "bad people" in the viewer's eyes. These characters were assigned undesirable characteristics having nothing to do with their political opinions, such as being romantically involved with a main character's love interest. In Beavers' opinion, a critical analysis of the show's political views can present a worthwhile learning experience to the viewer.<a href="#cite_note-103">[102]</a> While it aired, The West Wing offered viewers an idealist liberal administration that provided a sort of catharsis to those on the left who felt that their political beliefs were largely forgotten or ignored in the era of the Bush administration.

In the first season, an outgoing Supreme Court Justice tells Bartlet that he had been wanting to retire for five years but waited "for a Democrat" because he did not want a Republican president to replace him with a conservative justice (the Justice then snidely tells President Bartlet, "Instead, I got you."). The season 4 episode "<a href="/wiki/Debate_Camp_(The_West_Wing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Debate Camp (The West Wing)">Debate Camp</a>" features a flashback to the days just before Bartlet's inauguration, as <a href="/wiki/Donna_Moss" title="Donna Moss">Donna Moss</a> meets with her Republican predecessor, Jeff Johnson. In season six Leo says that the Republicans have been "out of power for eight years", and Republicans at their convention say "eight (years) is enough". The passage of time on the show relative to that of the real world is somewhat ambiguous when marked by events of shorter duration (such as votes and campaigns). Sorkin noted in a DVD <a href="/wiki/Audio_commentary_(DVD)" class="mw-redirect" title="Audio commentary (DVD)">commentary track</a> for the second-season episode "<a href="/wiki/18th_and_Potomac" class="mw-redirect" title="18th and Potomac">18th and Potomac</a>" that he tried to avoid tying The West Wing to a specific period of time. Despite this, real years are occasionally mentioned, usually in the context of elections and President Bartlet's two-term administration. The show's presidential elections are held in 2002 and 2006, which are the years of the <a href="/wiki/Midterm_elections" class="mw-redirect" title="Midterm elections">midterm elections</a> in reality (these dates come from the fact that in the season 2 episode "<a href="/wiki/17_People" title="17 People">17 People</a>", Toby mentions 2002 as the year of the President's reelection campaign). The election time line on The West Wing matches up with that of the real world until early in the sixth season, when it appears that a year is lost. For example, the filing deadline for the <a href="/wiki/New_Hampshire_primary" class="mw-redirect" title="New Hampshire primary">New Hampshire primary</a>, which would normally fall in January 2006, appears in an episode airing in January 2005. In an interview, John Wells stated that the series began one and a half years into Bartlet's first term and that the election to replace Bartlet was being held at the correct time.<a href="#cite_note-188">[187]</a> However, the season 1 episode "He Shall from Time to Time" shows the preparations for Bartlet's first regular State of the Union address, which would occur one year into his presidency. In the Season 1 episode "Let Bartlet Be Bartlet", Josh Lyman asks Toby Ziegler, "Our second year isn't going much better than our first year, is it?" In the season 5 episode "<a href="/wiki/Access_(The_West_Wing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Access (The West Wing)">Access</a>", it is mentioned that the Casey Creek crisis occurred during Bartlet's first term and got his presidency off to a calamitous start, and network footage of the crisis carries the date of November 2001. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1998_presidential_election">1998 presidential election</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_West_Wing&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: 1998 presidential election">edit</a>]</div> Bartlet's first campaign for president is never significantly explored in the series. Bartlet is stated to have won the election with 48% of the popular vote, 48 million votes, and a 303–235 margin in the <a href="/wiki/Electoral_College_(United_States)" class="mw-redirect" title="Electoral College (United States)">Electoral College</a>. Of three debates between Bartlet and his <a href="/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republican</a> opponent, it is mentioned that Bartlet won the third and final debate, held eight days before election day in <a href="/wiki/St._Louis,_Missouri" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Louis, Missouri">St. Louis, Missouri</a>. <a href="/wiki/Josh_Lyman" title="Josh Lyman">Josh Lyman</a> says that in the days prior to the election, "Bartlet punched through a few walls" since the result seemed too close to call before the result broke his way. <a href="/wiki/Leo_McGarry" title="Leo McGarry">Leo McGarry</a> says the same thing in "<a href="/wiki/Bartlet_for_America" title="Bartlet for America">Bartlet for America</a>" when he says, "It was eight days to go, and we were too close to call".

The flashbacks also show Leo McGarry persuading Bartlet, then <a href="/wiki/Governor_of_New_Hampshire" title="Governor of New Hampshire">Governor of New Hampshire</a>, to run for president. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2002_presidential_election">2002 presidential election</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_West_Wing&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: 2002 presidential election">edit</a>]</div> The West Wing's 2002 presidential election pits Bartlet and Vice President John Hoynes against <a href="/wiki/Florida_Governor" class="mw-redirect" title="Florida Governor">Florida Governor</a> <a href="/wiki/Robert_Ritchie_(The_West_Wing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Robert Ritchie (The West Wing)">Robert Ritchie</a> (<a href="/wiki/James_Brolin" title="James Brolin">James Brolin</a>) and his running mate, Jeff Heston. Bartlet faces no known opposition for renomination, though <a href="/wiki/Minnesota" title="Minnesota">Minnesota</a> Democratic Senator Howard Stackhouse launches a brief independent campaign for the presidency. Ritchie, not originally expected to contend for the nomination, emerges from a field of seven other Republican candidates by appealing to the party's conservative base with simple, "homey" sound bites. Bartlet's staff contemplates replacing Vice President John Hoynes on the ticket with <a href="/wiki/Chairman_of_the_Joint_Chiefs_of_Staff" title="Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff">Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff</a> <a href="/wiki/Admiral" title="Admiral">Admiral</a> Percy Fitzwallace (<a href="/wiki/John_Amos" title="John Amos">John Amos</a>), among others. After it is clear that Ritchie will be the Republican nominee, Bartlet dismisses the idea, declaring that he wants Hoynes in the number two spot because of "four words," which he writes down and hands to Hoynes and McGarry to read: "Because I could die." Throughout the season, it is anticipated that the race will be close, but a stellar performance by Bartlet in the sole debate between the candidates helps give him a landslide victory in both the popular vote and the electoral vote. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2006_presidential_election">2006 presidential election</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_West_Wing&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: 2006 presidential election">edit</a>]</div> A speed-up in The West Wing's timeline, in part due to the expiration of many cast members' contracts and a desire to continue the program with lower production costs, resulted in the omission of the 2004 midterm elections and an election during the seventh season. The sixth season extensively details the Democratic and Republican primaries. The seventh season covers the lead-up to the general election, the election, and the transition to a new administration. The timeline slows down to concentrate on the general election race. The election, normally held in November, takes place across two episodes originally broadcast on April 2 and 9, 2006. Congressman <a href="/wiki/Matt_Santos" class="mw-redirect" title="Matt Santos">Matt Santos</a> (D-<a href="/wiki/Texas" title="Texas">TX</a>) (<a href="/wiki/Jimmy_Smits" title="Jimmy Smits">Jimmy Smits</a>) is nominated on the fourth ballot at the <a href="/wiki/Democratic_National_Convention" title="Democratic National Convention">Democratic National Convention</a>, during the sixth-season finale. Santos, having planned to leave <a href="/wiki/United_States_Congress" title="United States Congress">Congress</a> before being recruited to run for the presidency by <a href="/wiki/Josh_Lyman" title="Josh Lyman">Josh Lyman</a>, polls in the low single digits in the <a href="/wiki/Iowa_caucus" class="mw-redirect" title="Iowa caucus">Iowa caucus</a>.

Josh Lyman, Santos's campaign manager, convinces <a href="/wiki/Leo_McGarry" title="Leo McGarry">Leo McGarry</a> to become Santos's running mate. Senator <a href="/wiki/Arnold_Vinick" title="Arnold Vinick">Arnold Vinick</a> (R-<a href="/wiki/California" title="California">CA</a>) (<a href="/wiki/Alan_Alda" title="Alan Alda">Alan Alda</a>) secures the Republican nomination, defeating Rep. Glen Allen Walken (R-MO) (<a href="/wiki/John_Goodman" title="John Goodman">John Goodman</a>) (who had served briefly as Acting President during Bartlet's recusal during the Zoey Bartlet kidnapping crisis in Season 4) and the <a href="/wiki/Reverend" class="mw-redirect" title="Reverend">Reverend</a> Don Butler (<a href="/wiki/Don_S._Davis" title="Don S. Davis">Don S. Davis</a>), among others. Initially, Vinick wants Butler to become his running mate. However, Butler does not want to be considered because of Vinick's stance on <a href="/wiki/Abortion" title="Abortion">abortion</a>. Instead, <a href="/wiki/West_Virginia" title="West Virginia">West Virginia</a> Governor Ray Sullivan (<a href="/wiki/Brett_Cullen" title="Brett Cullen">Brett Cullen</a>) is chosen as Vinick's running mate. Vinick is portrayed throughout the sixth season as virtually unbeatable because of his popularity in California, a typically Democratic state, his moderate views, and his wide crossover appeal. Vinick, however, faces difficulty with the <a href="/wiki/Anti-abortion" class="mw-redirect" title="Anti-abortion">anti-abortion</a> members of his party as an <a href="/wiki/Abortion_rights" class="mw-redirect" title="Abortion rights">abortion rights</a> candidate, and criticism for his support of nuclear power following a serious accident at a Californian nuclear power station. On the evening of the election, Leo McGarry suffers a massive <a href="/wiki/Myocardial_infarction" title="Myocardial infarction">heart attack</a> and is pronounced dead at the hospital, with the polls still open on the <a href="/wiki/U.S._West_Coast" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. West Coast">West Coast</a>. The Santos campaign releases the information immediately, while <a href="/wiki/Arnold_Vinick" title="Arnold Vinick">Arnold Vinick</a> refuses to use Leo's death as a "stepstool" to the presidency. Santos emerges as the winner in his home state of Texas, while Vinick wins his home state of California. The election comes down to <a href="/wiki/Nevada" title="Nevada">Nevada</a>, where both candidates need a victory to secure the presidency. Vinick tells his staff repeatedly that he will not allow his campaign to demand a recount of the votes if Santos is declared the winner. Josh Lyman gives Santos the same advice, although the Santos campaign sends a team of lawyers down to Nevada. Santos is pronounced the winner of the election, having won Nevada by 30,000 votes, with an electoral vote margin of 272–266. According to executive producer <a href="/wiki/Lawrence_O%27Donnell" title="Lawrence O'Donnell">Lawrence O'Donnell, Jr.</a>, the writers originally intended for Vinick to win the election. However, the death of Spencer forced him and his colleagues to consider the emotional strain that would result from having Santos lose both his running mate and the election. It was eventually decided by <a href="/wiki/John_Wells_(filmmaker)" title="John Wells (filmmaker)">John Wells</a> that the last episodes would be rescripted.<a href="#cite_note-189">[188]</a> Other statements from John Wells, however, have contradicted O'Donnell's claims about a previously planned Vinick victory. The script showing Santos winning was written long before the death of John Spencer. In 2008, O'Donnell stated to camera, "We actually planned at the outset for Jimmy Smits to win, that was our .. just .. plan of how this was all going to work, but the Vinick character came on so strong in the show, and was so effective, it became a real contest ... and it became a real contest in the West Wing writer's room."<a href="#cite_note-190">[189]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Similarities_to_2008_United_States_presidential_election">Similarities to 2008 United States presidential election</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_West_Wing&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: Similarities to 2008 United States presidential election">edit</a>]</div> Similarities between the fictional 2006 election and the real-life <a href="/wiki/2008_United_States_presidential_election" title="2008 United States presidential election">2008 United States presidential election</a> have been noted in the media: <ul><li>The Democratic candidate is a young ethnic minority representing a populous state: Matthew Santos of Texas on the show, <a href="/wiki/Barack_Obama" title="Barack Obama">Barack Obama</a> of <a href="/wiki/Illinois" title="Illinois">Illinois</a> in real life.</li> <li>He has a grueling but successful primary campaign against a more experienced candidate: Bob Russell on the show, <a href="/wiki/Hillary_Clinton" title="Hillary Clinton">Hillary Clinton</a> in real life.</li> <li>A third candidate from a Southern state has been damaged by claims of infidelity: John Hoynes of Texas on the show, <a href="/wiki/John_Edwards" title="John Edwards">John Edwards</a> of <a href="/wiki/North_Carolina" title="North Carolina">North Carolina</a> in real life.</li> <li>The Democratic nominee chooses an experienced Washington insider as his running mate: Leo McGarry on the show, <a href="/wiki/Joe_Biden" title="Joe Biden">Joe Biden</a> in real life.</li> <li>The Republican contest is determined early in the primary season with an aging "maverick" senator of a western state being the nominee: Arnold Vinick of California on the show, <a href="/wiki/John_McCain" title="John McCain">John McCain</a> of <a href="/wiki/Arizona" title="Arizona">Arizona</a> in real life.</li> <li>The nominee defeats a staunchly <a href="/wiki/Anti-abortion" class="mw-redirect" title="Anti-abortion">anti-abortion</a> opponent with pastoral experience, among others: Reverend Don Butler on the show, <a href="/wiki/Mike_Huckabee" title="Mike Huckabee">Mike Huckabee</a> in real life.</li> <li>He then chooses a younger, socially conservative running mate in the midst of their first term as governor of a sparsely populated, resource-rich state: Ray Sullivan of West Virginia on the show, <a href="/wiki/Sarah_Palin" title="Sarah Palin">Sarah Palin</a> of <a href="/wiki/Alaska" title="Alaska">Alaska</a> in real life.<a href="#cite_note-191">[190]</a><a href="#cite_note-192">[191]</a></li></ul> According to David Remnick's biography of Obama, The Bridge, when writer and former White House aide <a href="/wiki/Eli_Attie" title="Eli Attie">Eli Attie</a> was tasked with fleshing out the first major Santos storylines, he looked to then-U.S. Senator Obama as a model.

Santos chooses <a href="/wiki/Josh_Lyman" title="Josh Lyman">Josh Lyman</a> as Chief of Staff, who in turn calls on former colleague Sam Seaborn to be Deputy Chief of Staff. Seeking experienced cabinet members, Santos taps Arnold Vinick as <a href="/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_State" title="United States Secretary of State">Secretary of State</a>, believing the senior statesman to be one of the best strategists available and respected by foreign leaders. Vinick is at first highly skeptical of Santos' offer, and initially rejects it, but is convinced to accept after a more extensive discussion with Santos leaves him satisfied their foreign policy philosophies will be compatible. Santos eventually decides on Eric Baker, the Democratic Governor of Pennsylvania and at one point the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, as his choice to replace Leo McGarry for vice president, and submits his name to Congress under the terms of the <a href="/wiki/Twenty-fifth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution" title="Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution">Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution</a>.
