That sounds really good. The ONLY thing I see that causes me concern is that CBS is the affiliate. :( Hope they don't make it from their liberal point of view. Then I won't be able to like the Haysbert character. And that would be wrong. :) Thanks for the info.

Well, now that you mention it, David Mamet is one of the creators of the show. He's a great writer (he wrote the script for "Glengarry Glenn Ross", adapted from his play. He also so wrote the screenplays for action movies like "The Untouchables", "The Edge" and "Heist"). But he's also a HUGE lefty and Bush-basher. He contributes regularly to the Huffington (com)Post:

The bumper sticker reading "in Texas some village is short of an idiot" is an absolute announcement of surrender. The "idiot" and his administration have taken the keys to the kingdom, by exploiting, tactically and strategically, Democratic weakness, passivity and smugness. It is not the Republicans who are risible, but their opponents. It's as if a burglar broke into someone's house to steal the television and the homeowner insisted he stay, while he called his broker to make sure the thief also got the stocks and bonds.

So while I'm looking forward the The Unit, we should be on the look out for Mamet's liberalism to bleed into the storylines. I'm hoping it won't. But as we just saw at the Coretta Scott King funeral, the left just can't help themselves :-/
