[edit] Plot

All the President's men and women scramble in the chaotic wake of an assassination attempt that leaves some victims fighting for their lives. Meanwhile, as a manhunt continues, the wounded drift in and out of surgery recalling how Bartlet's team came together during the dark months of his longshot primary campaign. Elsewhere, the press department is hounded by the media for details of the shooting while a military crisis looms in Iraq.

[edit] Quotes

Leo: You can sign the President's signature?
Margaret: Yeah.
Leo: On a document removing him from power and handing it to someone else?
Margaret: You think the White House Counsel would say that was a bad idea?
Leo: I think the White House Counsel would say it was a coup d'etat!

Josh: Donna, this is a campaign for the Presidency, and there's nothing I take more seriously than that. This can't be a place where people come to find their confidence and start over.
Donna: Why not?
Josh: I'm sorry?
Donna: Why can't it be those things?

Donna: Look. I think I can be good at this. I think you might find me valuable.
