Don't be so quick to guess. Libs like Tim Robbins LOVE playing EVIL conservatives.
Yeah, it’s possible that they could have her play an “evil” conservative. Of course, they’ve already done that with Logan.
My main problem with having another president on 24 is that Wayne Palmer had just taken the oath, 3 MONTHS prior to the start of season 6. This means that either 4 years passed (making Jack Bauer almost 50 years old, while Kiefer isn’t even 41 yet) or this will be the second consecutive term with 3 presidents!
And I really believe the White House storyline has run it’s course on 24. They need to make the show more personal, less politically driven and a smaller story again. And they need lots more Chloe than ever before:)
