Well, let's hope Keeler recovers by next season. Logan was a friggin' disaster.
However, didactically he was perfect. Also, the strength and resourcefullness of the Palmer character was also a good model to be shown the American people...and what such figures have to put up with and deal with in the political world. All in all, good lessons.
You're right, Logan is just a great example of a VP chosen for the so-called political reasons; a partisan hack with little talent (or spine) and apparently no real integrity.
Luckily, in the real world, "W" made a much better choice.
Does anyone really think the "Novak" character was a coincidence :)
