The only time politics was brought into the series was in the first season when Palmer was identified as a Dem. Since then, no one's party affliation has been named. But since, Palmer bowed out of the pres. race in season 3, we deduced that President Keeler (and now President Logan) are Republicans. But that's as far as politics goes.Ah, gotcha. You're a fountain of information on these "24" threads, jonny... thank you again! :o)
