Republican played by Alan Alda. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. He's the poster child for a democrat girlie man if there ever was one.
Alan Alda, does what he can for the role, but for what its worth, his version of a republican is basically a RINO.
Its also pretty clear who the character is based on.
Hint, its not a real conservative.
Aldas character ir pretty much a fictionalized version of McCain (except they made the republican pro-abortion, and possibly even a closet atheist).
The demcoratic candiate, is based on a perfect, idealized version of John Kerry, which is assinine.
I enjoyed his performance in The Moonshine War. He even carried a firearm !
That movie must have been made prior to his estrogen replacement therapy.
