I watched last night's episode, and it was easy to tell that the show was dying. You could almost hear the "tick, tick, tick" of the countdown timer (ala "24" style...)
That being said, the show really slammed the DNC (yes, the DNC!) towards the end of the hour. For those who didn't watch/refused to watch/whatever, one of the DNC cronnies drugged the First Hubbie's drink, causing him to stumble, appear drunk and then grope the hottie. Basically, it was all a setup. And, they got caught.
I watched it too (actually I worked on a model and listened while my girlfriend watched). I loved the part where at the very last minute she decided to give the SOTU address from the Oval Office. Now in the show the reason was that she was mad at Congress for passing her bill with an amendment which she then had to veto.
I think that the real reason was that they did not have the budget to recreate the House chambers and fill it with actors. The story reason sure seemed childish and/or cowardly. The address itself was sure liberal Hollywood preachy. I think this show is dead in the water.
