The 2006 Democratic Presidential Primaries were held to determine the Democratic Party's nominee for the 2006 Presidential Election. President Bartlet's two-term presidency left a lack of strong candiates to retain the White House. Early front runner Pennsylvania Governor Eric Baker declined to run, giving Vice President Russell front runner status, winning 25 states during the primaries ("2162 Votes"). Leo McGarry, a prominent Democratic politician and then-counselor to Josiah Bartlet, believed, after Senator Arnold Vinick became the front runner for the Republican Nomination, that the Democrats had no one who could beat him.
