Never seen an episode of The West Wing, and no idea who these people are. But I found I couldn't stop reading once I started. Seeing the little bits pull together into the actual campaign, and this:

"I think that right now, future congresswomen and senators, military leaders and maybe even presidents, are starting to think about it because their parents have gone out and voted for a woman to be their candidate for President."

Definitely hit a chord. Awesome read, thank you!
