I watch the show because it's excellently written and acted, and the RATS do not come off nearly as well as Bozell is claiming. Yes, the show contained blatant DNC talking points in Bartlet's big campaign speech, but it was an episode about a Democratic candidate campaigning! What was he supposed to say? The GOP candidate was nowhere to be found in this episode; he'll have to get some major face time somewhere down the road. And I have a feeling he's going to come off looking a lot better than we're being led to believe.
It is very well written and acted, but it still came off as an extended commercial for the Democrats. In fairness I've only seen yesterday's show, but conservatives were portrayed only as stupid (the GOP candidate), evil (oil companies) or raving extremists (the "how many babies did you kill today" girl). Meanwhile the major failing of the liberals is that they come across as "too smart". I'll give it another chance but I suspect it's going to end up making me yell at the TV too much (the same reason I couldn't watch Clinton's state of the union addresses).
