You have to remember, it's not the actors that design the characters, it's the writers. And since Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran are not only creators but writers on the show, and they are big conservatives, I see more of an "ideal conservative foreign policy president" in Palmer. Definitely not Clinton and Carter.
Agree.
Is Joel Surnow the one who was on Laura Ingraham's show in the last week or so? If so, he was GREAT! She asked him about the writers' political views.
His response: "We are all against terrorism."
