Episode Number - 121
Original Airdate - May 10, 2000
Written by - Aaron Sorkin
Directed by - Don Scardino


While President Bartlet and his staff nervously await the results of a poll to determine his favorability rating, he begins a heady transfer of ambassadors and members of the Federal Election Committee designed to kick start campaign finance reform and defuse an embarrassing incident overseas. Bartlet recalls the married ambassador to Bulgaria (Lawrence Pressman) who is discovered to be romancing the daughter of the country's prime minister, but faces another crisis at home when Sam is photographed by a newspaper giving a graduation gift to a known call girl (Lisa Edelstein). Meanwhile, CJ anxiously paces the White House corridors and wonders if she is being marginalised by Leo for past mistakes. In addition, Josh clashes with opinionated pollster Joey (Marlee Matlin).
