One day before a debate between Bartlet and his Republican rival, Governor Robert Ritchie (recurring guest star JAMES BROLIN), even skeptical Toby must admit that Bartlet is ready. After a debate rehearsal, Toby meets with his ex-wife, Congresswoman Andrea "Andy" Wyatt (recurring guest star KATHLEEN YORK), who is advising on the campaign. Toby also tells C.J. that Albie Duncan (recurring guest star HAL HOLBROOK), a rather old, slightly crazy Republican, will help Bartlet deal with the aftermath of the debate.

And Sam attempts to persuade an idealistic campaign manager, Will Bailey (recurring guest star JOSH MALINA), to remove a recently deceased Democratic candidate from the Presidential ballot. watch
