"It's a free-for-all. I think Aaron Burr's got twenty votes" - fantastic quip.

[nicholasbique]

“One night of this is entertaining, two nights and we look like idiots.” Good thing Leo wasn’t here to see that Speaker vote for McCarthy 😮‍💨🤣

[digital_gravity]

That look between Josh and Hoynes. Always stayed with me. Josh kept giving Hoynes good advice and he kept ignoring it, to his own peril...

[Afib]

It’s a credit to Ed O’Neil for his wide range of acting skills.

[kathleendonovan]

I love how the POTUS calmly says, "find me Leo McGarry".

[theolamp]

When Leo said "One night of this is entertaining, two nights we look like idiots, reminds me of the last presidential debates.With great respect to the irreplaceable John Spencer.

[WhoDeyNati]

Anyone else feel parallels between the Speaker of the House election in January and most recently, October 2023? "Two nights and we look like idiots"

Well now we are 17 days and counting without a Speaker

[lml]

I always thought this was the best of the post-Sorkin episodes. Huge stakes, characters you care about on all sides, and tension on what's going to happen up until the last minute.

[joomyk]

Getting ready for the upcoming DNC with this clip.

[noahbrown]

Love that Bingo Bob was basically in a full-blown argument with the person he was calling....but still managed to get the state's nomination. From the limited knowledge I have of Mississippi as a state, I feel like that'd probably work as well 😂😂😂

[Reflexzzzz]

The look between Josh and Hoynes was excellent

[jennifersman]

Ed O’Neill should’ve gotten more time, he was perfect as the PA governor who toyed with running for President and then got the VP spot after Leo’s death

[pavarottiaardvark]

The camera blocking here is subtly brilliant. In both the Santos and Russel rooms, Hoyne's states are on the whiteboard. But they're rarely in focus, and in both scenes they are occasionally obscured by someone standing in the way. The camerawork is helping us to ignore the now failed candidate.

The president sending leo to get people in line

[Jhertzog]

Abby: What are they doing?

Bartlett: Eating their young.

XD

[blastermasterguy]

Abbey: What are they DOING?
Jed: EATING THEIR YOUNG!
Me:...yup...that's pretty much politics around the world.

[MRFlackAttack]

0:49 - 1:06 Anne definitely did not regret it later on.

[dirdib]

Baker's statement implies that he hasn't been able to address the delegates yet, but at the beginning you hear him making a speech. Of course, that could have been just to reports announcing his candidacy. I agree that more Ed O'Neill would have been good. I always like to see him in a serious role.

[dealinginfiction]

Baker really pissed me off. If I was Leo, I would have singled Baker out and looked him straight in the eye and said. "Eric, if you wanted to run for President, do the party a favor and wait till the last minute"

The actions in the above clip shows what takes place in a brokered Convention.
