Commentary[]
A few minutes after the last of Ellen Degeneres' lame comedy started to fade, I found it remarkably easy to suspend disbelief and watch this episode as if it were Real. In a way it was, live television being what it is, but I'm refering to the prospect of it happening with real candidates and not actors. Realistically speaking, I am doubtful very many of the 2008 hopefulls would be up to the task... but oh well, it was great television. --Gherald 08:50, 9 Dec 2005 (UTC)
Vinick gets angry alot, and Santos puts him in his place. Santos looks aloof for a majority of the episode. Both Candidates take a bounce in the polls after the debate.
