"You're going to see opposition on the show, and you're going to see them making strong, compelling arguments. In our parallel West Wing universe, which is two years off from the actual universe, Bartlet's going to need to start running for re-election. And he's facing all kinds of opposition -- including, by the way, opposition to his left." - Aaron Sorkin

On that topic, the CFL is getting a lot of exposure on US television these days, and not just on the network carrying weekly games. A while ago, the game was featured on the hit TV show, The West Wing."It was one of the episodes called the Red Mass," explained Shawn Lackie, Vice-President of Communications. "It's a clip that has the President, (played by Martin Sheen) sitting in his office talking about the upcoming campaign, and they kept using football analogies. They keep talking about this guy keeps throwing screen passes and he shouldn't. All the time he's talking, you can see a game in the background, and all of a sudden, boom, you can clearly see a shot of a Calgary Stampeders helmet.
How did CFL game action end up on The West Wing? "There are a lot of people interested in the CFL, because buying NFL footage can sometimes be prohibitive," said Lackie.

"There were some decisions made about the election that didn't have much dramatic punch," says [John] Wells. "You knew Bartlet was coming back. And that story line coincided with a wave of successful reality-TV programming."
