One day before a debate between Bartlet (Martin Sheen) and his Republican rival, Governor Robert Ritchie (James Brolin), even skeptical Toby (Richard Schiff) must admit that Bartlet is ready.
After a debate rehearsal, Toby meets with his ex-wife, Congresswoman Andrea "Andy" Wyatt (Kathleen York), who is advising on the campaign, and tries to convince her to remarry him.
Toby also tells C.J. (Aliison Janney) that Albie Duncan (Hal Holbrook), a rather old, slightly crazy Republican, will help Bartlet deal with the aftermath of the debate.
Later, the staff joyously watches Bartlet trounce Ritchie in the debate. Meanwhile, Leo (John Spencer) and attorney Jordon Kendall (Joanna Gleason) negotiate a peaceful settlement to the escalating Qumar-Israel conflict while continuing their romantic banter.
Sam (Rob Lowe) flies to California's 47th Congressional District in Orange County where the Democrat who was running has died. He tries to convince campaign manager Will Bailey (Joshua Malina), to stop the campaign, but to no avail. Sam eventually promises the candidate's widow that he will step in as a candidate in a run-off election should the late Democrat win, which is an unlikely outcome.

[edit] Quotes
"Every once in a while, every once in a while, there's a day with an absolute right and an absolute wrong, but those days almost always include body counts. Other than that, there aren't very many un-nuanced moments in leading a country that's way too big for ten words. I'm the President of the United States, not the President of the people who agree with me."- Pres. Bartlet
