What surely has become the longest campaign season in television history will finally come to an end tonight on the penultimate epirode of "The West Wing" as California Sen. Arnold Vinick (Alan Alda), the Republican, takes on Texas Rep. Matt Santos, the Democrat, for the battle of the show's future. It's a bleak one, though, because it all comes to an end in a matter of days.
Tonight's episode should also be sad as the show deals with the death of actor John Spencer, who played Leo McGarry, the former chief of staff and Santos' running mate in the show. Last week's teaser had a hotel room with a screaming voiceover for someone to get help. I suspect McGarry will be found dead in his hotel room on Election Eve or something equally dramatic. It's almost as if the writers planned it that way, though clearly they didn't.
Stay tuned for reactions.
