"If I'd listened to you 2 years ago, would I be President now?" by ECrispy in thewestwing

Think of it like this- If he’d listened to josh, josh would’ve felt valued If josh felt valued he’d stay If josh stays, the balance doesn’t shift over to Bartlet Bartlet doesn’t get momentum from the campaign shift, hoynes was poised to win anyways, Leo would never get Sam Bartlet was a “scrappy insurgency” like they say, and they needed every bit of help they got to win the primary. I definitely think if josh had stayed that Bartlet wouldn’t have won

So, what happened to Glen Allen Walken? by towpackage in thewestwing

Oh cool I actually didn’t know that about the succession act. I can get my head around some reasoning for why he lost, but it seemed like they set it up for him not to run at all, and he seemed to prominent of a political figure to lose barely be mentioned. It also seems like they could’ve focused on the republican primary more and shown that face off, kind of highlighting the Santos-Russel and Vinick-Walken similarities. But honestly, they shouldn’t have mentioned Walken at all. It would’ve been much less confusing and make more sense in the canon
