Disclaimers: The West Wing and its characters don't belong to me, never will.  Aaron Sorkin, Warner Bros, NBC and Co. thought of them first. I just like to play with them and see what happens. I do this out of a love for the show and no infringement is intended.

Note: Many thanks to my two invaluable betas.  My personal version of the Rock of Gibraltar, the ever amazing, Shan and my new beta, the talented and all-around good egg, Joell. I couldn’t do it without you guys!
